Cho-Handelsman Duo


Edward Cho, cello 

Mathilde Handelsman, piano

About the duo

Since their encounter in 2017 at Indiana University Bloomington, during respective studies under Peter Stumpf and Menahem Pressler, the Korean-Canadian cellist and pianist Edward Cho and French-American pianist Mathilde Handelsman have formed a couple on and off the stage, performing across North America and Europe. 


In addition to their individual musical studies, the Cho-Handelsman Duo received guidance from renown Irish pianist John O’Conor. Recent highlights include their participation as semi-finalists in the IX Vainiunas International Chamber Music Competition in Vilnius, Lithuania, as well as performances in Paris, France at the “Dimanches Musicaux” of the Arts George V concert series, and multiple concerts in the Washington D.C. area. 


While the Cho-Handelsman Duo most often performs as a cello and piano ensemble, they sometimes appear as two-piano/4-hand piano musical partners as well. Find out more about Edward Cho by visiting his personal website at www.choedward.com
