Description
Reaching the listener is ultimately the only thing that matters as a performer. For cellist Stephanie Winters that philosophy has made her one of New York's most eclectic performing artists and in-demand string players.
In addition to her striking solo work, Winters has become a valued accompanist to an ever growing list of America's most celebrated singer-songwriters including Richie Havens, Dar Williams, Catie Curtis, David Wilcox, and Paula Cole. In 2005 Winters will be performing with Richie Havens in the U.S., Italy, England, Australia and New Zealand.
Winters, a native of Levittown, Long Island, attended Juilliard in high school and earned her graduate degree at Columbia University. Through answering an ad in The Village Voice for a cellist, she formed The Nudes with singer-songwriter Walter Parks in 1991. Together for eight years, they recorded three critically acclaimed CDs and toured the US playing festivals, clubs and colleges. The Nudes' broad appeal and musical excellence made them a welcome opening act for artists Daniel Lanois, Tuck and Patti, Shawn Colvin, Chicago, and George Benson among others.
Winters recalls, "We asked Lanois for his advice after we opened for him and he heard us play. He said, 'Make a list of all your attributes. Then divide that list into those attributes that make you unique and those attributes you have in common with other artists. Hang the first list on your wall and throw the other one away.'"
Taking that advice to heart, Winters has woven her rich tone, evocative phrasing, and consummate studio skill into a stunning solo recording entitled, "Through the Storm". Produced by Alan Williams, this ground breaking debut features Winters as a multitracked one-woman orchestra who tackles a dazzling array of styles from Miles Davis to Bartok, from the Bulgarian Women's Choir to traditional gospel, plus her own compositions.
Winters continues to tour the U.S. in small clubs and major festivals with an array of artists as well as a busy schedule recording. In every situation, Winters listens for the music's passionate thread. "I play from the heart," she says, "that may be why my music touches people."
"People tell me all the time, 'The cello is my favorite instrument,' and I never tire of hearing it."
