Natalie Clein

With a global reputation, British cellist Natalie Clein first came to international attention when, at age 16, she won the BBC Young Musician of the Year Competition in 1994 and was nominated as best female at the Classical Brit Awards 2008.  In residence at Oxford University and regularly performing at major venues and with orchestras worldwide, her playing has been praised for its "astonishing range of colors and...wide variety of expressive styles."
