Jakob Koranyi

Jakob Koranyi has toured the world as a soloist and chamber musician. He has participated in world premieres of new cello concertos and performed the classical standard repertoire with many of the world’s leading orchestras and musicians. He has been a regular guest at festivals such as the Verbier Festival in Switzerland and the Cello Biennale in Amsterdam, and for over a decade, he performed with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center in New York.

Due to the ongoing climate crisis, Jakob has, since 2019, stopped accepting engagements that require air travel. This means, among other things, that he is focusing his concert activities in Europe until the aviation industry transitions to fossil-free energy sources.

Together with pianist Peter Friis Johansson, Jakob has also founded the climate-friendly chamber music festival and summer academy Fairplay Chamber Music in Järna, outside Stockholm.

Since 2022, Jakob has been a professor of cello at Edsberg, a chamber music-focused program within the Royal College of Music in Stockholm.
