Timothy Hopkins, born in 1995, is a German/American cellist living in Germany. 
 Soloistic and chamber musical performances so far have brought him to Italy, Spain, Portugal, Austria, the Czech republic, Switzerland, and the USA. 
 He began his musical studies while he was still going to school as a pre-student in Münster and later on in Leipzig. After his high school graduation, he completed his bachelor's degree with honors at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater „Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy“ in Leipzig, studying with Prof. Peter Bruns. At the moment, he is working on his master's program supervised by Prof. Troels Svane at the Hochschule für Musik Hanns Eisler Berlin. 
 A special interest for him lies in performing arrangements and transcriptions of pieces from other instrument’s literatures to the cello. Examples are his own arrangement of the Chaconne from the second violin Partita by Johann Sebastian Bach and Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso by Camille Saint-Saëns, which are both featured on his debut album ”Salute to the Violin“, which will be released in February 2022 by Prospero Classical.
