As part of the Boston Public Library's celebration and observance of LGBTQ+ Pride Month, Sam Ou will present an afternoon of diverse solo cello music by J.S. Bach, José Elizondo, Adolphus Hailstork, and Tyzen Hsiao. Praised for his "impassioned performance" (Boston Globe) and playing "with remarkable ease and clarity, while maintaining a graceful—if vociferous—line that fit well into the narrative" (The Boston Musical Intelligencer), he enjoys an active musical life in the Greater Boston area. In 2012, he gave the world premiere performance of Larry Bell’s Cello Concerto entitled The Triumph of Lightness with the Boston Civic Symphony at New England Conservatory’s (NEC) Jordan Hall. Symphonically, Mr. Ou can be found occasionally playing in the Boston Pops, Boston Landmarks, and Boston Ballet Orchestras. A faculty member and assistant string chairperson at NEC’s Preparatory School and School of Continuing Education, he coaches chamber music and also maintains a private teaching studio.
