Australian cellist Richard Narroway enjoys a varied career as a performer, recording artist, and teacher. In 2017 he made his recording debut with Bach’s Six Cello Suites, praised by Gramophone Magazine for its “captivating sensitivity” and “exhilarating authority.” In addition, he has given performances in Australia, Canada, China, Germany, Italy, Korea, the UK and the United States, in prestigious venues such as the Kennedy Center, Chicago Symphony Center, Koerner Hall, and the Sydney Opera House. Richard's numerous competition titles include gold medals at the 2019 Manhattan International Music Competition and the 2010 Stulberg International String Competition, as well as a top prize at the Third Beijing International Cello Competition. He pursued his cello studies from an early age, enjoying tutelage from Hans Jensen, David Finckel, Susan Blake and Takao Mizushima. He earned degrees from the Juilliard School and Northwestern University's Bienen School of Music, before completing a Doctorate with Richard Aaron at the University of Michigan, where he also served as teaching assistant.

Shortly after, he was named a Rebanks fellow at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto, where he served as teaching assistant to professor Hans Jensen. Beginning in January 2020, Richard will join the faculty of the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music as a Lecturer of Cello.
