Beyond the Cello

A musical and visual journey in which the cello moves across eras and languages, from the classical tradition to electronic, ambient and cinematic soundscapes.

Solo cello Approx. 60 minutes Available across Europe

The project

The cello, beyond the cello.

Beyond the Cello is a solo performance for acoustic and electric cello, electronic backing tracks and original projections. Music and images form a single narrative: the instrument retains its classical identity while becoming an emotional voice, a rhythmic element and electronic material.

Sound

Acoustic and electric

The cello changes role and timbre through ambient, neoclassical crossover, beats and cinematic sound worlds.

Stage

Music and images

Projections created for the performance accompany the musical journey and expand its narrative dimension.

Journey

From roots to the present

The programme begins with classical and Baroque roots and moves towards original contemporary compositions.
