Writer

Paul Rah is a Korean-New Zealand cellist, writer, and former artist manager based in Munich, Germany. Since the last 30 years, Jacqueline du Pré has been his constant musical inspiration, and his deep commitment to preserving her artistic legacy has led him to amass and curate a large and unique collection of invaluable archival materials related to du Pré’s artistry. Along this journey, he has also had the privilege of personally knowing many of the people closest to her, including Daniel Barenboim, Christopher Nupen, Stephen Kovacevich, Pinchas Zukerman, Elizabeth Wilson and Moray Welsh.

Rah’s expertise on Jacqueline du Pré has made him a sought-after collaborator for esteemed institutions such as Warner Classics, The Strad, medici.tv, and Allegro Films. Most recently, he served as Archive Research Consultant for Allegro Films’ latest documentary Jacqueline du Pré: Genius & Tragedy, commissioned to mark the 80th anniversary of her birth. The film premiered on PBS in the United States in January 2025.
