Alexander Hersh named a top prize winner of the 2024 Naumburg International Cello Competition.

“Premiering on The Strad is Absinthe - a multi-faceted storytelling project presenting classical music to new audiences in a combination of film and music making”

”It was an exciting assignment to review cellist Alexander Hersh, winner of the 2022 Pro Musicis International Award, as Pro Musicis has such an excellent track record with its winners; having now heard this winner’s recital in Weill Hall, I can say that this awardee is no exception. In a program entitled ‘Beyond Borders,’ this young musician showed an openness and passion for all that he played, and, given the Pro Musicis mission to promote “visionary concert artists who awaken the human spirit wherever they perform,” he seems to be a fine choice.” - Rorianne Schrade,

Winner of the 2022 Pro Musicis International Award— the prize package features a Carnegie Weill Hall debut recital, recording services, and development of a social outreach project.

In the wake of the recent tragedies in Atlanta and Boulder, I've decided to do a pre-release of my new EP to help raise money for Asian Americans Advancing Justice and the Colorado Healing Fund. 50% of the proceeds will go towards Asian Americans Advancing Justice, an organization committed to fighting for civil rights and empowering Asian Americans while working to create a more just America for all, and the other 50% going towards the Colorado Healing Fund to support the needs of victims and families affected by the Boulder Supermarket tragedy.
