Sara Nelson 
      Canadian-born American cellist (b. Dec. 24, 1917, Winnipeg, Man.—d. Oct. 10, 2002, New York, N.Y.), had a long career, beginning as a child prodigy. Called the “queen of cellists,” she was known particularly for performing contemporary works, including Schelomo and other music by Ernest Bloch. When she was only 10, she formed the Canadian Trio with her sisters, a pianist and a violinist. In 1929 her parents moved the family to London to give her greater opportunities for study, and the following year she appeared as a soloist with the London Symphony Orchestra. Nelsova returned to Canada in 1939, where she became principal cellist in the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, and she made her New York debut in 1942. In 1955 she became a U.S. citizen, and from 1963 to 1973 she performed frequently with pianist Grant Johannesen, her husband at the time. Nelsova taught at a number of schools, including the Juilliard School in New York City.
