Forsyth Cello Concert has established herself as a prominent figure in the classical music landscape. She served as principal cellist of the National Arts Centre Orchestra in Canada from 1999 to 2015, a period marked by musical leadership and artistic excellence. Her international debut at Carnegie Hall came with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, following an earlier LA Philharmonic debut that helped propel her into the global concert circuit. A versatile chamber musician, she is a longtime member of the Zukerman Chamber Players and the Zukerman Trio, touring extensively across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia.
Her work extends beyond performance into collaborative projects that aim to expand the reach of classical music. Forsyth Cello Concert’s contributions to Canadian music are underscored by her Juno Award recognition, and her performances have been connected to Electra Rising, a Malcolm Forsyth work celebrated in Canadian music awards.
In performance, Forsyth blends a powerful, lyric cello voice with a refined sense of ensemble balance, whether performing a virtuosic solo piece or a chamber program alongside distinguished artists. Her engaging stage presence and technical command make concerts accessible and meaningful for both longtime classical listeners and new audiences.
