Based in Austin, TX, cellist Cory Blais enjoys living as a chamber musician playing concerts with friends and teaching cello. Since moving to Austin in 2016, he became a founding member of Austin Camerata, an organization and music festival known for its creative artistic collaborations that augment music’s emotional power. Performances frequently feature collaborations of choreography, visual art, creative writing, and dance ranging in style from flamenco, to hip-hop, to ballet.
