The young cellist Anton Spronk has already achieved a lot at a young age. He lives in Berlin, has won a number of competitions and runs his own festival. In 2016, Anton, together with the violinist Larissa Cidlinsky, founded the international festival 'Eggenfelden Klassisch', which takes place annually in southern Germany.

His first 'cello' was a viola on a pin that he played at home in the attic as a 4-year-old. From the age of five he was part of the Fancy Fiddlers of Coosje Wijzenbeek.

Anton was sure, he wanted to become a cellist and started taking lessons seriously. He left for Zurich when he was eighteen.

His teacher was a descendant of the school of the great cellist Mstislav Rostropovich.
