Bryan Cheng
Berlin-based Canadian cellist Bryan Cheng is one of the most compelling young stars on the classical music scene. He made his sold-out Carnegie Hall recital debut at 14 and is a laureate of some of the world’s most prestigious competitions, most recently the Queen Elisabeth Competition and Concours de Genève. This season, Bryan makes his debut at the Berliner Philharmonie, returns to the National Arts Centre Orchestra and appears with the National Taiwan Symphony Orchestra, Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, Orchestre symphonique de Sherbrooke and Wiener Stadtorchester. Previous accomplishments have taken him around the world with prominent conductors and on tour across Canada with the National Youth Orchestra as the winner of the Michael Measures Prize (Canada Council for the Arts). Cheng is a renowned chamber music player, a frequent guest at international festivals, and a critically acclaimed recording artist. He plays the “Dubois” Antonio Stradivarius cello (1699) graciously loaned by Canimex.
