Born in Chicago in 1992, violoncellist Gabriel Cabezas commenced his music studies at age four. Gabriel has been portrayed as “…an intense player who connects to the music naturally, without artifice, and brings a singing line to the cello” (David Stabler, The Oregonian) and his debut performance with The Cleveland Orchestra described as a “…remarkably poised and elegant account, with superb attention to phrasing, nuance and tonal coloration” (Donald Rosenberg, The Plain Dealer).
Gabriel has performed with artist Béla Fleck in the televised program “From The Top – Live from Carnegie Hall” and with the Sphinx Chamber Orchestra at “The Sphinx Gala Concert,” both at Carnegie Hall in New York City. He has made appearances on the National Public Radio (NPR) programs “From The Top” and “Performance Today,” and Chicago’s WFMT 98.7’s “Introductions,” as well as performances in Chicago’s Music in the Loft, “Exploring Music Live with Bill McLaughlin” and The Northeastern Illinois University’s Music Series.
