Tina has also performed with Stevie Wonder, Josh Groban, John Legend, Michael McDonald, and was also featured in a show for the PGA. Tina recently recorded on John Legend's new album and was featured on the electric cello in an album for the Yamaha SV Quartet Series which will be distributed to music programs in schools nationwide, introducing electric string instruments to the music curriculum in America. This past summer, Tina toured with metal/rock/classical crossover band "Metaphor" through Australia, performing in 21 cities on the electric cello. She also traveled to France and Brazil with the "Pegasus Piano Trio" for the Franco-Américaine Rencontre de Musique de la Chambre at the Château de la Bretesche in Missillac and the Rio XIII International Cello Encounter. Tina performed the Elgar Concerto with the Petrobras Symphony while in Brazil, and will return in summer of 2008 to play an electric cello concerto that she was commissioned to write and perform. After Brazil, Tina performed with crossover pianist William Joseph in Spain for the International Philanthropy Summit. A published composer, Tina has been awarded first place in the MTNA's California State Composition Competition for her series of cello duets. They can be found in Davina Music Publications' chamber music books. Tina began playing the cello under the instruction of her father, Lu-Yan Guo. She then continued her studies with Professor Eleonore Schoenfeld and Nathaniel Rosen at the the University of Southern California's Thorton School of Music on full scholarship. Currently in the studio, Tina is recording with "Off the Deep End," a progressive metal band in which she plays the electric cello, keys, and also sings.

Tina is endorsed by Carvin and uses their BR610 Bass Combo Amp. She is also endorsed by Coffin Case, Voodoo Lab, Pedaltrain, Zoom, and Samson. ------------------------------------------------------------ -------- The Pueblo Chieftan, 11 March 2007 By Pierre Canyon "Guo admits that the cello is the way she best expresses her passion for life with what she feels deep in her heart. This comes out clearly in her performance of the Dvorak cello concerto. The performance of the Dvorak cello concerto proved to be a delight to the ear, the mind and the heart. Guo’s performance, in particular, provided a focus for our attention that was the highlight of the program." ------------------------------------------------------------ -------- El Sol de Toluca, 13 October 2006 By Gabriela Rangel "Guo's interpretive quality and flawless performance was moving and excited the audience immensely. She is a great artist at only 20 years old." Spanish to English Translation by E. Villarreal ------------------------------------------------------------ -------- |
