Aldo Parisot was a renowned Brazilian-American cellist and teacher, celebrated for both his virtuosic playing and his long career as a professor at the Yale School of Music, where he taught for over six decades. Born in 1918 in Natal, Brazil, Parisot had a distinguished performing career, appearing as a soloist with major orchestras around the world and premiering numerous contemporary works for cello.
