Whether conducting, coaching chamber music, or teaching cello in his private studio, Eugene Sor has had a distinguished career working with music students of all ages and abilities. He has been a member of the faculty at Crowden Music Center in Berkeley since 1998 and is the Resident Conductor of the Palo Alto Chamber Orchestra, with whom he has worked since 2001. He has held teaching positions at San Francisco State University, California State East Bay University, Notre Dame de Namur University and Black Pine Circle School, and has been a guest clinician for several music education seminars. Recently Mr. Sor was named Conductor of the Preparatory Division Orchestra at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. He is Director of Crowden Center for Music in the Community (CCMC), and serves on faculty for both CCMC and The Crowden School.

He is a member of the San Francisco Chamber Orchestra and an avid chamber musician. He is formerly Principal Cellist of the Stockton Symphony and a member of the Chamberlain String Quartet. His wide range of performance experience has been integral in his success as a music teacher, providing him insights into how to maximize his students’ potential through challenging repertoire choices and strong rehearsal technique.
