Brazilian-American cellist Gabriel Martins has established himself as one of the world’s most compelling young musicians. His artistry has already been recognized through an extensive list of accolades, including the Sphinx Competition Gold Medal, the David Popper International Cello Competition Gold Medal, and the Concert Artists Guild/Young Classical Artists Trust Grand Prize. Some of his recent high-profile debuts have included Carnegie, Merkin, and Wigmore Halls, The 92nd Street Y, and the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory. The Strad magazine declared his all-Bach New York City recital debut as “flawlessly played … a deeply moving experience,” and Classic FM named him one of their “30 under 30” Rising Stars. In recital, his interpretations of the Bach Cello Suites and arrangements of the Violin Sonatas and Partitas have garnered particular recognition, and he is currently undertaking a project to record all of these works. He is a graduate of the USC Thornton School of Music and the New England Conservatory.
