  • Spend a lovely Valentine's Day afternoon listening to the beautiful music of the cello, featuring Peter Ko and Robert Bui. About Peter Ko: Praised as “particularly moving” (San Diego Story) and showing “extraordinary musicianship with unbroken focus … fierce and committed” (San Diego Union Tribune), Peter Ko is a San Diego based cellist, collaborating with musical artists such as Steve Schick, Joshua Rubin, Mark Fewer, and the Dover String Quartet. As a performer, his training and projects have taken him across the USA, Mexico, Canada, and Europe, performing in festivals such as soundSCAPE, SICPP, Darmstädter Ferienkurse, the Green Box Arts Festival, and Neofonía Festival de Música Nueva Ensenada. Peter currently serves as principal cellist for the La Jolla Symphony and Chorus, has been featured with Yarn/Wire, Project [BLANK], and San Diego New Music. About Robert Bui: Robbie Bui is a versatile cellist, able to perform classical canon, pop improvisation, and contemporary avant-garde. He is grounded by an additional background in composition, and holds degrees from New England Conservatory and UC San Diego. Specializing in new music interpretation, he has been dedicated dozens of pieces as a soloist and chamber musician, and is recognized in ensembles such as East Coast Contemporary Ensemble, Palimpsest Ensemble, and Alinéa. Beyond cello, he’s a reliable pianist, good violinist, and not-so-good flutist. Beyond the stage, he works as the Patron Services and Office Manager of La Jolla Symphony and Chorus, and as a freelance portrait/event photographer. And beyond work, he learns languages, tailors clothes, cuts hair, and can make really great coffee.
