Young Concert Artists Series: Benett Tsai, cello

Our collaboration with Young Concert Artists continues with a free master class and performance with cellist Benett Tsai.

The music-making of young Australian cellist Benett Tsai has been described as “electrifying…flawless freshness” (Süddeutsche Zeitung) and “charismatic, heartfelt playing full of fluid intensity” (Sydney Arts Guide). Profiled as one of the thirty “next generation young musicians making their mark” by Limelight Magazine, he gained attention at the 2022 Grand Prix Emanuel Feuermann, where he received both Third Prize and the Special Prize for Best Haydn Concerto as the youngest participant. He recently joined the storied roster of Young Concert Artists after winning the 2023 YCA Susan Wadsworth International Auditions in New York. As an inaugural YCA Jacobs Fellow, he is the recipient of The Stern Young Artist Award from the Linda and Isaac Stern Foundation and holds the Anne & George Popkin Cello Chair.
