​Join the Live Music Movement Foundation in welcoming brilliant young talent, cellist Braylon Hughes, in his debut professional performance. Braylon is a senior at Kinder High School for the Performing and Visual Arts where he performs with the Symphony Orchestra, String Orchestra and school theatrical productions. His passion for music was observed when he was introduced to the cello in the 5th grade.

Braylon is a member of the Opus One Chamber Music School where he is the cellist in the Serenade String Quartet. He is also a member of the Houston Youth Symphony. He participates in the American Festival for the Arts Summer Music Festival and was selected first chair for two summers, 2022 and 2023. Braylon is also a participant at the Sphinx Performance Academy in Cleveland, Ohio, which is an intensive summer chamber music and solo performance program with a focus on cultural diversity.

Beginnings: Introducing Braylon Hughes will consist of Braylon performing pieces with piano and cello, and pieces with string quartet. The program will feature works by Lawrence Brown: Five Negro Spirituals for cello and piano. Shostakovich: Cello Sonata in D minor 1st movement and Gabriel Fauré: Elegie will also be performed. For string quartet, William Grant Still: Lyric Quartette 1st and 3rd movements, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor: The Five Fantasy Pieces 2nd and 3rd movements, and Brahms: String Quartet No. 1 4th movement will be performed.
