In a year where we particularly celebrate the instrument that has the closest affinity to the human voice, we welcome Cellophonics, four of the UK’s leading orchestra cellists who came together to explore the contrasting characteristics of their instrument. From the operatic tones of Puccini’s ‘Tosca’, to the driving rhythms of ‘jazz lord’ Guy Barker’s especially commissioned ‘Wood on the Tracks’ and with a myriad of stops along the way, an hour in their company promises an eclectic and joyous musical journey
Christopher Allan plays regularly with the Britten Sinfonia and is co-principal cello with the Orchestra of the Swan;
Adrian Bradbury has built an international career as the cellist in Composers Ensemble winners of a Royal Philharmonic Society Chamber Award.
Ian Burdge has been a long term member Max Richter Ensemble, the Nitin Sawhney band and worked live with a range of renowned ensembles
Ben Rogerson is a member of the BBC Concert Orchestra and the London Mozart Players.
‘Virtuosity, imagination and superb musicianship, all packaged up by four multi-talented ‘cellists, glued together by their obvious friendship, camaraderie and love of the ‘cello.’
