Biography
The cellist Milan Drake was born in Frankfurt am Main in 1998. His special tendency towards music was already evident at the early age of five, when he received his first piano lessons. He only met the cello three years later, but this instrument enabled him to study at the HfMDK with Prof. Jan Ickert in 2016.
Milan is a multiple national prize winner of the “Jugend musiziert” competition (2015/16) and received a first prize and a special prize at the Mendelssohn competition in Kronberg (2016/18).
Since 2018 he has been studying in the class of Prof. Konstantin Heidrich, the cellist of the Faurй Quartet, at the University of the Arts in Berlin.
The young musician received further valuable chamber music impulses by participating in the “German Chamber Music Course” (2016/17), which is accompanied by renowned musicians such as Martin Spangenberg, Angelika Merkle, Susanne Stoodt and the members of the Faurй Quartet. In addition, Milan is regularly trained by the Artemis Quartet as part of his studies.
