Described for producing performances that are ‘larger than life with boundless emotion’ (Limelight Magazine) and for being a cellist with ‘an absolute mastery of technique’ with ‘a sensitive and expressive musicianship’ (Blue Mountains Gazette), Australian-Korean cellist Waynne Kwon has established himself as one of the outstanding cellists of his generation.
