Great Cellists 25/26

The greatest cellists can be heard in Amsterdam

Muziekgebouw and the Cello Biennale Amsterdam are bringing the world’s greatest cellists to Amsterdam. Star cellist Nicolas Altstaedt will perform with the English baroque ensemble Arcangelo. Two performances will feature a brother and sister duo. And multi-talented Abel Selaocoe will play his own compositions, drawing inspiration from the music of African tribes.
