Adam Satinsky, Cello

Adam Satinsky has spent the majority of his professional career—26 years—as principal cellist of the Naples Philharmonic in Florida. Satinsky was lauded in his role both as leader of his section and as soloist with the orchestra. He performed many different concerti during his tenure, including the Beethoven Triple, Brahms Double, Shostakovich No. 1, Tchaikovsky Rococo Variations, Haydn’s C and D major, Schumann, Saint-Saens No. 1, Boccherini No. 2 in D major, and Elgar. He was a sought-after performer in concert series throughout the Naples area, including Big Arts (Sanibel Island) and Koreshan Art Hall Series (Estero).

In his early years, Satinsky played in a string trio with two equally talented violinists, performing and competing in the greater Washington, D.C. area. The young musicians dubbed themselves the “Trio Con Brio”. He also attended the Interlochen Arts Camp for 3 summers, giving him his first opportunities to solo with an orchestra. His subsequent college degrees included a Bachelor’s of Music from Eastman and an Artist’s Diploma from Indiana University, with the latter performance-focused degree enabling him to devote all his time to absorbing the wisdom from the legendary Janos Starker.

Since the age of 14, he has added his unique signature musicianship to the summer festival scene in such scenic places as Boulder, CO; Teton Village, WY; Bellingham, WA; Marlboro, VT; Aspen, CO; Ernen, Switzerland; and Banff, Canada. More recently, he has helped establish two new chamber music festivals—one in the Lowcountry (in and around Beaufort, SC, and Savannah, GA) and another in North Miami Beach, held in the winter.

He owns two magnificent cellos created by Christopher Dungey, a maker based in Grand Junction, Colorado, and a bow made by Thomas Goering. Satinsky has a second career as a restaurateur, opening multiple Thai Fusion restaurants with his wife.
