Rajam) and projects spanning The Silk Road Ensemble to Julia Holter and Kamasi Washington, Votek moves fluidly between genres. Whether producing in his studio Echo Manor or composing chamber works, Chris redefines what a cello can do. He’s also a pillar in LA’s musical education through the Harmony Project.
