For decades, Tanja Tetzlaff has been one of the most influential musicians of her generation, both
as soloist and chamber musician. Her playing is characterized by a uniquely fine yet powerful and
nuanced sound, which always goes hand in hand with cultivated musicality. Tanja Tetzlaff’s trademark
is her extraordinarily broad repertoire and her desire for new, groundbreaking concert formats.
In April 2021, Tanja Tetzlaff became the first scholarship holder to be awarded the highly endowed
Glenn Gould Bach Fellowship of the city of Weimar. She now has the opportunity to realize a two-year
film project relating Bach’s famous cello suites to nature and climate change issues: Suites4Nature /
Suites for a Wounded World.
Tanja Tetzlaff is a founding member of the Tetzlaff Quartet (Christian Tetzlaff, Elisabeth Kufferath,
and Hanna Weinmeister). She plays a cello by Giovanni Baptista Guadagnini from 1776.
