Life

Isang Enders was born in Frankfurt am Main in 1988 as the son of a German-Korean family of musicians. Isang Enders was named after the Korean composer Yun I-sang . After early beginnings at the piano, he first came into contact with the cello at the age of nine. The subsequent training was largely shaped by a six-year study at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Frankfurt am Main in Michael Sanderling's class , after which he studied with Gustav Rivinius in Saarbrücken. The long and close personal contact with the American cellist Lynn Harrell and the current work with Truls Mørk at the Norwegian Academy of Music in Oslo have a particular influence . In addition to these intensive studies, Enders attended a number of international master classes, among others with Seiji Ozawa , Robert Mann , Pamela Frank , David Geringas , János Starker , Steven Isserlis , Natalia Gutman , Frans Helmerson , Nobuko Imai and the composer Krzysztof Penderecki .

Enders first gained wide attention when, at the age of 20, he was hired for the vacant position of the traditionally titled 1st violoncellos concertmaster of the Saxon State Orchestra Dresden . Since then he has been able to perform as a soloist and also as a chamber music partner with musicians such as Christoph Eschenbach , Myung-Whun Chung , Mikhail Jurowski, Tzimon Barto , Kit Armstrong , Igor Levit , Sebastian Manz , the Sächsische Staatskapelle Dresden , the Schleswig-Holstein Festival Orchestra, the German String Philharmonic, Perform at the Rheingau Music Festival, the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival, the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania Festival, the Shostakovich Days Gohrisch, as well as the Verbier Festival.

Enders received numerous scholarships and was mainly supported by the German National Academic Foundation and the Deutsche Stiftung Musikleben , whose instrument fund provided him with a violoncello with the label "Joseph Gagliano, Neapoli 1720", a trust loan from a Hamburg family property.
