Tommy Mesa, cello, and Olga Kern, piano

Two dynamic performers, Tommy Mesa and Olga Kern, have joined to thrill chamber music enthusiasts in Birmingham. Cuban American cellist, Dr. Tommy Mesa, has established himself as one of the most charismatic, innovative, and engaging performers of his generation. An award-winning artist, his interests span the traditional classical repertoire as well as tango and contemporary works. Olga Kern is the first woman in the last 50 years to win the Van Cliburn International Competition Gold Medal, in addition to other major international competitions and concert appearances. Her dazzling style and impeccable technique have made her a favorite in both the U.S. and in Europe. The Mesa and Kern collaboration will soon be available on an upcoming album.
