Born in New York, cellist Alex Greenbaum enjoys a diverse and adventurous musical life. As a member of the Hausmann Quartet he is an Artist-in-Residence and Lecturer at San Diego State University, where he teaches cello, chamber music and is string area coordinator. A long-time member of The Knights, he has performed with the chamber orchestra throughout the U.S. and Europe. He has recorded for over a dozen record labels, including two GRAMMY nominations. Equally at home on baroque cello, Alex is a founding member of San Diego Baroque, principal cellist of Bach Collegium San Diego and has appeared at the festivals of Carmel and Corona Del Mar. He is Co-Director of Chamber Music at the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library in La Jolla with his wife, violinist Kate Hatmaker. He lives in San Diego (but remains a Yankees and Knicks fan).
