We are thrilled to announce that our guest artist for the 2025-26 season is cellist Yumi Kendall! Since 2004, Yumi has been a dedicated and deeply active member of The Philadelphia Orchestra as Assistant Principal Cello. She won the position at age 22, during her final year of studies at the Curtis Institute of Music, where she now serves on the cello performance faculty. Ms. Kendall will perform the Dvořák Cello Concerto with our Symphonic Orchestra on January 18, 2026, at TCNJ’s Kendall Hall.
