Today would have been Dad’s 78th birthday. I wrote this piece for him in 2020 just weeks before he passed and was luckily able to perform it for him once. I made this recording as a birthday gift to him. I miss you, Dad. I still think of you every day. 🎥 @joseph_yun_ @josephs_studio_ 🎙️ @ohmaworld . . . #cello #cellist #cellistoftheworld #solocello #composer @cellistoftheworld

I discovered @marimerenda earlier this year from this video of her singing “Feira de Mangaio” and automatically fell in love with her sound, style, and visible joy when she’s making music. (Plus, the asalato is such a cool instrument!) She’s a true artist and I had so much fun being her cello backup band. (P.S. My classical friends might recognize a little melody near the end…) 🤓 . . . #marimerenda #asalato #cello #cellist #cellistoftheworld #cellistsofinstagram #remix #duet #singing #singer @cellistoftheworld @historyofmusic2016

As a career string quartet/chamber music cellist, I don’t get many opportunities to play a high solo line like this. But I was excited for the challenge of playing this beautiful melody by Klengel when @dustinseo asked me to join @laoschambermusic for their “Yuletide Cellos” performance last month! Thanks for having me! 🎵 Hymnus for 12 Cellos, Op. 57 by Julius Klengel 🎥 @louisng.wav . . . #cello #cellist #cellists #cellogram #cellistoftheworld @cellistoftheworld #cellistsofinstagram #cellistlife #laoschambermusic #klengel

Exactly 10 years ago I released this video of my very first arrangement—“Take On Me” by a-Ha—with my old band @altiusquartet . Never would have imagined then that arranging would become such a staple of my artistic identity. Amazing how time flies… . . . #stringquartet #altiusquartet #takeonme #aha #stringquartetcovers #violin #viola #cello
