21 year old Cellist Santiago Canon Valencia has had a remarkable career already, sparked off by studies with James Tennant when the young Colombian enrolled at Waikato University at the age of 14.  Valencia now plays the world concert circuit, after winning a slew of major awards including the 2010 Beijing International Competition. Santiago gives the opening concert at the Waikato International Cello Festival on Sunday.
