Sunday Sounds: Bruno Quezada

Bruno Quezada will be performing a programme including Debussy , Von Paradis, and Quezada.

Burgh House presents Sunday Sounds, our recital series showcasing emerging musicians.

Mexican-Canadian cellist and composer Bruno Quezada has been an active member of the classical music scene in both Canada and the UK for the last decade. A recent graduate from the Royal Academy of Music, Bruno’s versatile career as a cellist and composer has won him many awards, including the 2021 Silver Medal and the Barbara Pentland Award for the Vancouver International Music Competition, and a 2024 Distinction award from the Academy. Bruno has played in venues like the Royal Overseas League, Sudley Castle, The National Club, The Orpheum, Domain Forget, Duke’s Hall, and Cadogan Hall. Bruno has also worked with distinguished artists such as principals of the Berlin Philharmonic, Trevor Pinnock, John Wilson, Roderick Cox, Robert Cohen, James Gilchrist, and Anna Tillbrook. Bruno plays on a 1840s Guinot Cello from Mirecourt, France.

Bruno will be accompanied by 21 year-old American pianist Charles Roberts. Charles started piano at the late age of 10, and was accepted into Shenandoah Conservatory in Winchester, VA at age 14, where he studied with Ieva Jokubaviciute and John O’Conor. Now in his fourth year on full scholarship at The Glenn Gould School of the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto, Roberts is continuing his studies with O’Conor.

Roberts was the highest ranked American pianist in the 69th Maria Canals International Piano Competition in Barcelona, Spain of March 2024. He also spent last summer on scholarship at the Aspen Music Festival in Aspen, CO.
