You have to catch her before you can get Meta Weiss to sit down at her cello and play a Portrait of an Artist recital.

A native of San Francisco, Meta made her international debut in Utrecht, Holland, at age 7, and her whirlwind career hasn’t afforded her many pauses since.

She went to New York, Moscow, Turkmen, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Brazil, and China. And then to Australia — one of her pauses — just long enough to give birth to her firstborn before hopping a plane back to the US and the mountains of Colorado, where she currently resides with her husband, cellist David Requiro their two little ones. Her life in music has spanned the globe, bringing artistry, insight, connection, and good cheer wherever she goes.

And now you know why Facebook changed its name to Meta! All selections will be announced from the stage.

Artists: Timothy Christie, moderator; Meta Weiss, cello; Xiaohui Yang, piano
