BW Profile playing cello.jpg
 

An avid player of many musical genres, Saul loves to collaborate with performers and creators from diverse backgrounds.  So while his main focus remains in the classical world – he is a member of the San Francisco Ballet Orchestra, an extra cellist with the San Francisco Opera Orchestra, is assistant principal in the Santa Cruz Symphony and a section cellist of the Monterey Symphony, as well as being a very active chamber musician in the Bay Area – he plays with groups with roots in hip hop, rock, jazz, electronics, and more. If a cello will fit in (and it always does) he’ll fit in too!
