Desmond Hoebig, longtime Professor of Cello at The Shepherd School of Music at Rice University, has had a distinguished career as a soloist, orchestral and chamber musician. Desmond was the cellist with the Orford String Quartet when they won a Juno award for the best classical music album in 1990. He has performed for 30 years with the Hoebig-Moroz Trio and has taught and performed at festivals throughout North America.

A Steinway Artist, he has enjoyed a performing career spanning five decades as a critically acclaimed recitalist, soloist with orchestra, and chamber musician.
