Alan Mautner, a native of southern California, has been playing cello professionally for the last 20 years. He graduated from California State University, Fullerton with a B.M. in cello performance. He has performed with many local orchestras including the Pacific Symphony, Redlands Symphony, Riverside Symphony and the Mozart Camerata in Orange County. He has been in back up orchestras with such artists as McCoy Tyner and Barry White and the Goo Goo Dolls featured on the Tonight Show. Mr. Mautner also performed on the recording “You’ll be in my Heart” by Phil Collins on the “Tarzan” soundtrack, which won the Oscar for the best song in 1999.

Mr. Mautner’s chamber music experiences have taken him many times abroad. He traveled to Frankfurt, Germany in 1983 with his string quartet and more recently traveled with his piano trio,”Trio duBois”, to perform at the American University in Cairo, Egypt in 1997. In the summer of 2000, Mr. Mautner was the featured continuo player as he traveled with the Calabases Chamber Orchestra to Paris to perform in the St. Chappel. They were the first foreign orchestra to play at that venue.

Mr. Mautner has been on the faculty of the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts since 1990. He is currently the orchestra director and serves as a string ensemble coach. He conducted last year performance of “Evita” and “Fiddler on the Roof” with the LACHSA Musical Theater and also conducted the Theater Department’s production of “Into the Woods”. His opera productions have included Britten’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Handel’s Alcina and Begger’s Opera by Britten.
