NYS is proud to welcome alumna Brianna Tam (NYS 2008-2013) back to the Norwalk Concert Hall stage this Sunday, October 18! 🎻🎶

Brianna will perform on electric cello and share how she found her own artistic voice and how that discovery has shaped her career.

Based in Los Angeles, Brianna is an electric cellist and composer who creates immersive worlds of sound through live looping, improvisation, and cinematic composition. Known for her authenticity and emotionally evocative artistry, she has performed internationally, including as an Artist-in-Residence representing the USA Pavilion at the 2025 World Expo in Osaka, Japan.

Brianna was named a Top Shelf artist in NPR’s 2023 Tiny Desk Contest, and Strings Magazine praised her “impressive onstage showmanship and unpremeditated compositional inventiveness.” She has performed at TEDx and composed music for film, television, and national campaigns, including for Lexus. Her credits include Rescued Hearts, Secret Game, Wild Fire, and Netflix’s The Unabomber, and several of her original tracks have surpassed one million streams.

You don't want to miss seeing Brianna perform live!
