Composer’s Voice, the groundbreaking television series spotlighting boundary-pushing artists in new music, is proud to feature the acclaimed Craig Hultgren in an upcoming episode. Known for his fearless embrace of contemporary repertoire and his ongoing mission to cultivate new works, Hultgren’s segment offers a compelling portrait of one of America’s most innovative cellists.

A tireless champion of living composers, Craig Hultgren has inspired the creation of more than 300 solo works for cello throughout his remarkable career. His artistry has been described by the New York Classical Review as “…played with impressive poise and sensitivity…” following his performance in Dorothy Hindman’s 2016 chamber music retrospective at Carnegie Hall.

Now residing just outside Decorah, Iowa, Hultgren is affectionately known as the farmer-cellist, cultivating both music and land in equal measure. His episode of Composer’s Voice weaves together performance footage, insightful commentary, and a showcase of compositions written especially for him—giving audiences a rare window into the artistry of a musician who redefines what it means to be a soloist in the 21st century.

Composer’s Voice, created by Robert Voisey and produced by Vox Novus, continues its mission to present dynamic, living voices in new music through short-format, high-impact episodes that bring performers and composers directly into the spotlight. Each episode is a curated mix of performance, dialogue, and discovery.

Episodes of Composer's Voice air its half-hour show every 2 weeks on Saturday at 2:00 PM EdT (UTC-4) on NYC cable access TV with Manhattan Neighborhood's Network channel 2.
