Santiago Cañón Valencia

Santiago’s performance and musicianship along with the Strings of the Melbourne Sinfonietta had concert goers enthralled...

Santiago possesses a musical maturity that is way beyond his years. His technical precision is quite staggering and he is without doubt already one of the finest cellists on the world stage today...

Under any circumstances this young man is a standout.  At 19 years old he is already a veteran of the world stage, playing with some of the best Symphony Orchestras from across the globe from the age of 6...

He plays the Cello as a Maestro. When he is playing, one’s eyes are firmly fixed on him and his ring clad fingers. His playing is ethereal, hypnotic and transportive. His physical appearance conjures Gothic images of past worlds...

Santiago Cañón Valencia is classical music’s equivalent to a Rock God...
