My name is Luis Fernando Perez Gonzalez, and I am 10 years old. I was born in Venezuela, and I started playing the cello a year and a half ago with my teacher Benito Liendo. I have performed in various recitals and in concerts with my orchestra.
My dream is to play the cello on great stages and bring joy to people’s lives. I feel inspired by the great composers and want to follow in their footsteps.
I’m excited to see what the future holds for me, and I’m grateful for the support of my family.
Watch Luis Fernando Perez perform Suite No. 1 in G Major, BWV 1007: I. Prelude by Bach on the cello for the 2025 Spring Music Competition as part of the Charleston International Music Competition.
