Bion Tsang helps raise funds for Mainspring Schools
On Thursday, October 7, Bion Tsang hosted a table at the Eleventh Annual Engaging Conversations benefit sponsored by Graves, Dougherty, Hearon & Moody. The dinner event at the Headliners Club in Austin raised $40,000 for Mainspring Schools, an early education and care program that establishes patterns for lifelong learning.
Cellist Bion Tsang and pianist Anton Nel make their PBS broadcast debut as cello/piano collaborators on Thursday, August 26, at 8 p.m. on KLRU. The half-hour IN CONTEXT special was recorded in February 2010 in KLRU Studio 6A, home of the venerable live music series Austin City Limits. KLRU’s IN CONTEXT art series presents performances from some of Austin’s leading artists and cultural organizations.

The Austin American-Statesman calls cellist Bion Tsang and pianist Anton Nel “two of Austin’s busiest virtuosos,” and their newest live CD, featuring Brahms Sonatas for Cello and Four Hungarian Dances, is the latest chapter in their two-decade musical kinship.
To celebrate this new CD, available on Feb. 23 from Artek Recordings, Bion and Anton will be taping a performance for KLRU’s new fine arts series, “In Context” on Monday, Feb 22 at the KLRU studios. The duo has selected some of their favorite pieces for cello/piano from Brahms, Boccherini, Grieg, Rachmaninov and Shostakovich.
Bion Tsang returns to the Seattle Chamber Music Society for his 14th year.
He performs with pianists Adam Neiman and William Wolfram, violinists Lily Francis, Erin Keefe and Amy Schwartz Moretti, and violist Richard O'Neill in works by Beethoven, Elgar and Turina. For tickets or more information: www.seattlechambermusic.org.
