We first discovered this young cellist from Alexandria playing at Eight Zero Zero this summer. While he has made a name for himself playing gigs in the area, he made his biggest splash in Virtuose, a Radio-Canada TV series in which young musical virtuosos from across Canada competed for the title of best musician.
