Taking Note — Tommy Mesa

Cellist Tommy Mesa's love of music began with his interest in playing drums. Selecting orchestra class in middle school, he learned violin before picking up the cello. Performing works by Ernesto Lecuona and Debussy on his 1767 cello made by Nicolò Gagliano, Mesa celebrates both his Cuban and French heritage.
