Having been hailed by critics as “a phenomenon who is without doubt already one of the finest cellists on the world stage today”, the young virtuoso cellist Santiago Cañón Valencia has established himself as one of the most exciting new musical talents. Born in 1995 in Bogotá, Columbia, he commenced studies at 4 with Polish cellist Henryk Zarzyycki, and gave his first concerto performance at the age of 6. With numerous awards and prizes under his belt, his debut CD for Atoll will undoubtedly be the showcase for his many talents.
