Gábor Rejtő, also known as Gabor Rejto (23 January 1916 – 26 June 1987),[1] was a Hungarian cellist who performed with various artists and chamber music ensembles in the 20th century.
At sixteen, Rejtő entered the Academy of Music under Adolf Schiffer (a pupil of and later assistant to David Popper), and two years later, with his Artist’s Diploma, he began his European concert career.
Rejtő then played in concerts throughout Europe, with major symphony orchestras such as those in Vienna, Budapest, Rome, and Warsaw, as well as in solo recitals.
Rejto taught for a number of years at the Music Academy of the West summer program for gifted students, where his master classes were extremely popular, not just with cellists.
His experience in chamber music attracted many students to his cello workshops held throughout the United States.
