Grace Lin Anderson to play Feb 22

For the First Sunday in Lent, we are pleased to welcome cellist Grace Lin Anderson. She will be playing Vaughan William’s Studies in English Folksong and also collaborating with the choir for the anthem, “Out of the deep” from John Rutter’s Requiem. 

Grace Lin Anderson is a Juilliard-trained concert cellist praised for her “rapier definition and boundless energy” (New York Concert Review) and “dazzling technique and musical expressiveness” (El Pueblo, Arequipa). Versatile across styles, her recent work traces a wide arc of genres and styles—from performances of Bach’s Solo Cello Suites in Germany in 2024 at historic venues including St. Thomas Church in Leipzig, to multiple concerto engagements as a soloist in Peru in 2025, and the 2026 premiere of new music by Pauchi Sasaki at New York City’s National Sawdust, a global hub of genre-defying new-music. As a soloist and chamber musician, she has appeared throughout the Americas and Europe, including at Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall, Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center, and major festivals in the U.S. and abroad. 
In the Spring of 2026, her work centers in North Carolina, where she frequently collaborates with Mallarmé Music and the Queens Chamber Players, appears as a guest chamber musician at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s Mystical Voices series, and is invited to Duke University as a guest lecturer to teach a cello masterclass, alongside a series of recitals in April across the state with French-American pianist Hélène Jeanney.
