Ô-Celli
Belgian cello octet
What can sound better than a cello? Eight cellos! This instrument, the closest to the human voice, is one of the few which carries being multiplied. When played together with others, the beauties of this instrument add up, giving birth to a unique, full and exceptional sound. Ô-Celli was brought to life by the shared passion of eight cellists, chamber musicians and concertists, for this exceptional vibration they created. Together, they take us on a fabulous journey through a repertoire of both original and arranged pieces, as they eagerly travel through a wide musical panel, ranging from Tchaikovsky to Strauss, passing by the music of Piazzolla and Nino Rota.
“They are all exceptional musicians and it was an interesting and varied program that was received with a standing ovation from an enthusiastic audience. Sold out with over 400 in attendance.” – Guy Traficante – Algoma Conservatory Concerts
