http://theseattleseries.orgAbout Meeka Quan DiLorenzo, cello
Multi-award-winning cellist Meeka Quan DiLorenzo, who thrills audiences with playing described as "incredibly nuanced" and "exquisitely beautiful," began her professional career as first-prize winner of the Khuner Concerto Competition at age 15 and debuted soon after, performing the Antonín Dvořák Cello Concerto with the Pacific Symphony under the direction of Carl St. Clair. A graduate of the Young Artist Program of the Cleveland Institute of Music and subsequent recipient of the Bachelor of Music degree in cello performance, Ms. Quan DiLorenzo was awarded the highly competitive position of Associate Principal of the Utah Symphony in her inaugural professional audition and remained with that ensemble for five years before joining the Seattle Symphony Orchestra.
An avid chamber musician, Ms. Quan DiLorenzo, a frequent collaborator with Dmitry Sinkovsky; has performed with members of the Juilliard and Cleveland string quartets; and received invitations to the Aspen, Ravinia, Taos, Kingston, Sun Valley, Seattle, Oregon Bach, and Kneisel Hall festivals. She began her cello studies at age 6 with Suzuki teacher Beth Goldstein and has since studied under Julie Feldman, Irene Sharp, Richard Aaron, and Stephan Geber.
