Ellis Verosub has been the principal cellist of the Redwood Symphony since 2012. He first joined in 2001, then took a break before returning full-time in 2008. He started at the age of four on the Suzuki method, but he was no prodigy, taking a full year to learn “Twinkle Twinkle”. He became more serious in high school when he studied with Andy Luchansky of CSUS and Sandy Wilson of the Alexander String Quartet. Currently he studies with Kathryn Bates of the Del Sol Quartet. Ellis supports his string and rosin habit by working for Apple in his spare time.
