26 year old Spanish cellist, Pablo Ferrández has in recent years firmly established himself as one of the new generation’s most outstanding young string virtuosi.

A graduate of the Queen Sofía College of Music and the Kronberg Academy, where he studied with Natalia Shakhovskaya and Frans Helmerson, Pablo is a former major prize winner at the Tchaikovsky and Paulo International Cello Competitions - and recipient of the coveted 2016 International Classical Music Awards ‘Young Artist of the Year’ accolade.

His recent debuts include solo engagements with the Berlin Philharmonic, London Philharmonic, BBC Philharmonic, Kremerata Baltica, HR-Sinfonieorchester, Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale RAI, St. Petersburg Philharmonic and Queensland Symphony Orchestra - and collaborations with Anne-Sophie Mutter, Zubin Mehta, Christoph Eschenbach, Vladimir Jurowski, Gidon Kremer and Robert Trevino.

Pablo currently performs on the 1696 ‘Lord Aylesford’ Stradivarius cello - previously played by luminaries, Gregor Piatigorsky and Janos Starker.
