About Me

Cellist Suzanne Mueller is a graduate of both the Pre-College and College of The Juilliard School and has studied with such notable cellists as Alexander Kouguell, Channing Robbins, Harvey Shapiro, Marion Feldman, Lorne Munroe, and, most recently, Eugene Friesen, and with chamber music coaches including Joseph Fuchs, William Lincer, and collaborative pianist Margo Garrett.
Half of McCarron & Mueller, a partnership with guitarist Mark McCarron, and director of Cambiata, including Cambiata Cello Duo, and Cello, Reeds, & Keys (with clarinetist/saxophonist/flutist Mike Cohen and pianist Elinor Zayas). She also currently performs with Retro Folk duo Rebecca Hall and Ken Anderson, and with singer/songwriter Terry Winchell.
Beech Tree Concerts Artist in Residence at Old Westbury Gardens (LI).
Hear her on Dave Rave & Mark McCarron's In the Blue of My Dreams and Terry Winchell's Vice Versa (2007), Alli Collis’s Signal on the Starboard and Lauren Agnelli’s Love Always Follows Me (2004) ; Rebecca Hall’s Sunday Afternoon (2002) ; and the Cave Dogs'Joyrides for Shut-Ins (1990). She especially enjoys working collaboratively with artists to create the parts she plays and welcomes new collaborations. When not playing the cello, Suzanne currently works as a Special Projects Coordinator in the Development Department of NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, the latest in a series of nonprofit managerial positions spanning a 20+-year career. In 2006, she led a workshop for Juilliard music students on finding the balance between music and other life elements that works for you - a topic to which she has devoted a great deal of thought.
