After having received his musical education in Belgium and in the USA, Nicolas Deletaille has begun his professional life as a concert performer. In the same time, he has recorded musical works from the standard repertoire such as the Bach six cello solo suites, the Beethoven five sonatas for cello and piano, the Kodaly cello solo sonata and chamber music works by Schubert, Dvorak, Franck and Tchaikovsky as well as works written by today composers.
Nicolas Deletaille has also earned distinction as an arpeggione player by recording the Schubert arpeggione sonata in the rare original arpeggione version with the vienese maestro Paul Badura-Skoda on an original 1820 pianoforte.
Nicolas Deletaille has collaborated extensively with composers of our time. He has given more than 40 world premieres, most of which were pieces written for him by composers from Belgium, France, Taiwan, USA, Italy, England, Switzerland, Korea, Norway and Canada. The last composition written for him is "Dépli et Configurations de l'Ombre" for solo arpeggione by Henri Pousseur.
Nicolas Deletaille is currently a faculty member of the Eastern Mediterranean University. He is cellist of the Mendelssohn Ensemble and plays as a duo with the French pianist Jean-Michel Dayez.
