Michelle Chen is a 16 year-old cellist from New York who has been playing for over six years, beginning at age nine. Over that time, she has developed strong technical skills and a deep appreciation for musical expression through consistent practice and performance.
She has participated in NYSSMA All-State, an accomplishment that reflects her dedication and commitment to high musical standards. As she continue to grow, she is focusing on expanding my repertoire, refining my technique, and exploring new opportunities to perform.
Watch Michelle Chen perform Cello Concerto No. 1 In A Minor, Op. 33, 3Rd Movement by Camille Saint-Saëns on the cello for the 2026 Spring Music Competition as part of the Charleston International Music Competition.
