About

The International Artist Diploma (IAD) represents the highest level of performance achievement at the RNCM, welcoming a select group of exceptional artists each year who are poised to embark on international careers.

In this series, each artist designs a carefully curated programme to highlight their unique talent and artistic vision.

Since making his debut with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra at the age of 14, cellist Johannes Gray has quickly gone on to make a name for himself. He has won the International Pablo Casals Award, Fischoff Chamber Music Competition and the Verbier Festival’s Prix de l’APCAV award. As a soloist, he has performed at the Berlin Philharmonie, Lincoln Center, SuperCello (Beijing), Dubai’s Theatre of Digital Arts, the State Opera Theatre of Tajikistan, and the Casals Forum at the Kronberg Academy, among others.

This performance will take listeners on a vibrant journey through folk-inspired classical music from around the world, featuring works that blend traditional melodies and rhythms with classical structures.
