“A cellist of bold character and poetic grace … a masterful player who brings curiosity and electrical energy to every note.” - The Plain Dealer

Joining Pacific Symphony for this performance is the remarkable cellist Joshua Roman. Hailed for his “effortlessly expressive tone… and playful zest for exploration” (The New York Times) and praised for his “extraordinary technical and musical gifts” (San Francisco Chronicle), Roman’s genre-bending programs and wide-ranging collaborations have earned him acclaim across the globe. His solo performance with the YouTube Symphony at Carnegie Hall was viewed by 33 million people, with Yo-Yo Ma introducing him as “one of the great exemplars of the ideal 21st-century musician.” Roman’s innovative spirit and commitment to bringing classical music to new audiences make him a standout artist in today’s musical landscape.
