Aaron's story

Brooklyn born multi-instrumentalist Aaron Stokes made his musical start on a 20-dollar Fisher-Price keyboard. Since then he’s performed alongside top artists such as Solange Knowles, Chris Martin and The Kronos Quartet, crisscrossing the unchartered path between Pop and Classical genres.

Aaron began studying church organ at age 3, where he began to exercise his musical capabilities rooted deeply in gospel and contemporary forms of music. Not stopping there, Aaron’s fervent desire for music led him to the cello where he embarked on his journey through classical studies. His former studies are with award-winning cellist Amy Kim at the preparatory division of Mannes the New School for Music. He then continued his conservatory studies under the tutorship of world renown pedagogue Marcy Rosen, at the Aaron Copland School of Music.

In addition to his training, Aaron has coached with members of Ensemble Connect - a program of Carnegie Hall, The Juilliard School, and the Weill Music Institute, in partnership with the New York City Department of Education.

Aaron’s dedication to his instrument has led to notable performances at Carnegie Hall, The Grammys, The United Nations Head Quarters, the Ubumuntu Arts Festival in Kigali, Rwanda,Lincoln Center,Radio City Music Hall, amongst others. On top of his solo performances, Mr.Stokes has recently appeared with Ms.Lauryn Hill as principle cellist on the 25th Anniversary of the Miseducation of Lauryn Hill Tour.

Aaron Stokes is a young and enthusiastic performer who is making conscious actions to enhance the world through the gift of music and love.
