About our guest artists: Brandon Bell and Yvonne Chenhttp://www.pianistyvonnechen.com

Multi-instrumentalist Brandon Bell is Director of Education and Artistic Administrator at Da Camera of Houston,  one of America’s leading presenters and producers of ensemble music. A fierce advocate of the music of our time, Bell used the 2014 Presser Graduate Music Award to fund "Plugged In," a commissioning project that resulted in five new works for solo percussion and interactive technologies.

A devoted chamber musician and imaginative soloist, pianist Yvonne Chen has been pushing the limits for pianists of the 21st century. With a wide array of interests within the broad solo piano repertoire, she continually explores different keyboard instruments such as the sampler, toy piano and the harpsichord. As the recipient of a 2016 Presser Graduate Music Award, she founded Houston-based contemporary music ensemble Loop38.

Sir Reginald is their French bulldog, bell-ringing percussionist.
