Born in the small Louisiana city of Shreveport, John-Henry Crawford was accepted at age 15 into the legendary Curtis Institute of Music where he served as principal cellist of the Curtis Orchestra. He went to complete an Artist Diploma at the Manhattan Music School, a Master of Music at The Juilliard School and pursue further studies in Chicago. I discovered him thanks to this beautiful recording and invited him to play for the Sociedad Filarmónica de Las Palmas and for the city of Telde. Extraordinary musician and human being.
