Santiago Cañón-Valencia

Colombian cellist Santiago Cañón-Valencia is a BBC Next Generation Artist and Tchaikovsky Competition silver medalist, hailed by The Strad as “technically flawless… totally under the skin of the composers’ idioms.” He makes his Bay Area debut with a recital of dreamy French sonatas and unusual transcriptions, capped by Stravinsky’s Suite Italienne, adapted from his Baroque-inspired harlequin ballet, Pulcinella.
