Timeline

1925

Eleonore Schoenfeld (March 6, 1925 – January 1, 2007) was an American musician, considered one of the most influential cellists of the 20th century.

Born in Maribor, Slovenia to a Polish father and a Russian mother, Schoenfeld moved to Berlin with her family at age six.

She proceeded to study ballet, violin, and piano before switching to cello at age eleven.

Her first teacher was Karl Niedermeyer, a pupil of Hugo Becker, with whom she studied until age fourteen.

From there she entered the prestigious Hochschule für Musik in Berlin - eighteen being the traditional age of entry.

She then spent the next four years studying with Adolf Steiner, a well-known soloist.

1952

In 1952, Schoenfeld's parents, wary of the Russian dictatorship, led the Schoenfeld family to flee to the United States.

From there, a connection from the Idyllwild Arts Academy led the then-dean of the USC Thornton School of Music to ask her, and her sister Alice, a concert violinist, to join the faculty.

The "Schoenfeld Duo" remained there since, serving alongside Gregor Piatigorsky, Jascha Heifetz, and many other distinguished musicians.

Through the span of her career, Schoenfeld produced over 200 recordings, recorded by the BBC.

Her students have become top prizewinners in competitions such as Geneva, the Casals Competition (Budapest), Tchaikovsky (Russia), Markneukirchen (Germany), Antonio Janigro (Croatia), and the Concert Artist Guild (U.S.).

Her students have also performed repeatedly as soloists with the New York Philharmonic, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, Georgian Chamber Orchestra (former Soviet republic of Georgia), Slovenian Philharmonic, and Bamberg Symphony Orchestra (Germany) with such eminent conductors as Zubin Mehta, Horst Stein, Esa-Pekka Salonen, Gerard Schwarz and Carl St. Clair.

2007

Schoenfeld died January 1, 2007, at the home she shared with her sister and is interred at the Mountain View Cemetery Mortuary, Altadena, California.

2008

In 2008, PBS made an hour-long documentary titled "Born to Teach" about Eleonore Schoenfeld's life.
