LAVENA

Baltimore, Maryland

Born and raised in Seattle, WA, Lavena’s parents started her on cello at age 6, but she didn’t take to the instrument until her father gave her a CD of Jacqueline du Pré performing Antonín Dvořák’s Cello Concerto. Inspired by du Pré’s incredible sound and fearless bravura, Lavena fell in love with the cello and knew that music was her calling.
