About

Barry is a multilingual cellist (fluent in english, german and chinese) recently returned to Melbourne after twelve years abroad in Europe during which he studied and worked in world leading universities and orchestras in the U.K, Switzerland and Germany.

Barry holds a Master of Arts in Music Performance from the Zurich University of the Arts in Switzerland and Bachelor of Music with First Class Honours at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester U.K as well as LMusA and DipABRSM.

Barry is eager to share with his students the knowledge and skills he has acquired through his experience working as a tutti cellist in one of Germany’s leading orchestras, Freiburg Philharmonic Orchestra, as well as teaching at the State Music School of North Breisgau in Germany over the past six years. Barry incorporates in his teaching a wide range of musical languages ranging from baroque instrumental playing through to modern pop, rock and film music repertoires. Since arriving back in Melbourne Barry most recently appeared as guest Principal Cellist with The Philharmonic Orchestra Singapore and guest Cello Teacher with the Raffles Institute String Ensemble.
