Genre

Classical

Cellist Guy Johnston has been among the most prominent players of his instrument in Britain since winning the coveted BBC Young Musician of the Year Award in 2000. At one of his BBC Young Musician competition performances Johnston broke a string but came back to win. A nod as Young British Classical Performer of the Year at the 2002 Classic Brit Awards confirmed his connection with audiences. Johnston has served as Principal Guest Cello of the Australian Chamber Orchestra and Guest Principal Cello of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in Amsterdam while also continuing to perform the core cello concerti with orchestras such as City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, the Royal Northern Sinfonia, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Britten Sinfonia, among others. Johnston's debut recording, Milo, featuring works by Britten, Bridge, and Turnage, appeared on the Orchid Classics label and was critically acclaimed.

Guy Johnston has also released music as a member of Aronowitz Ensemble.
