Guy Johnston
British cellist Guy Johnston was born into a musical family in Harpenden in 1981, and was educated at the choir school of King’s College Cambridge, Chetham’s School of Music and the Eastman School in New York. In 2000 he won BBC Young Musician of the Year (playing Shostakovich’s First Cello Concerto), and his international career took off immediately afterwards; his discography includes Moeran’s Cello Concerto with JoAnn Falletta and the Ulster Orchestra on Naxos, Holst’s Invocation with Sir Andrew Davis and the BBC Philharmonic on Chandos, Karl Jenkins’s The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace, and Milo (a recital of Britten, Bridge and Turnage with the pianist Kathryn Stott, which takes its title from Turnage’s composition for his baby son’s christening, inspired and premiered by Johnston).
