Born in Sydney in 1984, he studied with Barbara Yelland in Adelaide and Janis Laurs at the Elder Conservatorium of Music before winning the prestigious Elder Overseas Scholarship to study at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester. Pei Sian’s studies under Ralph Kirshbaum culminated in the RNCM Gold Medal, the college’s highest honor.
Pei Sian performs on a rare cello by Francesco Goffriller “ex-Daniel Müller-Schott”, Udine, c. 1720 and also on a cello by Paolo Vettori “David”, Florence, 2020.
“Larsen’s Il Cannone strings offer the ultimate balance of power and tonal range on my Goffriller cello. While the ‘Direct & Focused’ A and D strings offer unprecedented core and brilliance, the ‘Warm & Broad’ G and C strings releases the potential of the instrument, allowing it to breathe. These strings unlock those valuable overtones that help the instrument ring, carrying the tone to the back of the hall.”
Francesco Goffriller (c.1720)
