About John

I have played piano since second grade and cello since third. I have taught both adult and children cello. I have competed in the Golden Keys International Music Festival playing piano and received medals each of the three years. In my first competition, I received the Superbronze (in between bronze and silver) and then Bronze and Gold respectively. I performed the recital in the Baruch Performing Arts Center in NYC and was supposed to play at Carnegie Hall in June 2020, but it was cancelled due to COVID. I have recently focused on solo cello playing and recently performed the Lalo Cello Concerto.
