Ô-Celli: Fait son Cinema
The Trail & District Arts Council presents Ô-Celli: Fait son Cinema, a unique 8-piece Belgian cello ensemble with a sonorous cathedral sound, on Saturday, November 30 at 7:30 pm. Part of the Performing Arts Trail series in The Bailey Theatre.
What can sound better than a cello? Eight cellos!
The cello’s sound is the closest to the human voice, and the magnificently creative Ô-Celli capitalize on this in their concerts to move beyond stylistic boundaries. These eight classically trained musicians reinvigorate both classical and popular music to enchant the audience through a repertoire of both original and arranged pieces.
For this show they will be playing: R.Strauss, “Also sprach Zarathustra, Op. 30”; Verdi, “Ouverture de la Forza del Destino”; Bach, “Toccata et fugue”; – Fauré, “Pavane, Op.50”; Rota, “La Strada”; Bernstein, “West Side Story”; and John Williams.
Ô-Celli’s concerts are invitations to travel, as these passionate cellists, plucked from celeberated orchestras and chamber ensembles, play only for their own and their audience’s pleasure!
Regular Musicians who play with Ô-Celli are Alexandre Beauvoir, Jean-Pierre Borboux, Stephanie Huang, Corinna Lardin, Yoori Lee, Shiho Nishimura, Raphaël Perraud, and Sébastien Walnier
“Ô-Celli is magnificently unique” – N. Bowman, The Daily Courier
“Eight classical cellists (of very high caliber)…fill the entire sound spectrum with infinite nuances…Because it takes talent not to spoil the originals while giving them a second life.” – Stéphane Renard, LECHO.BE
“These eight cellists offer concerts that dust off classical music, renew the repertoire and attract a spellbound audience.” – Aurélie Koch, JV Magazine no. 74
“…incredible reserves of imagination and an innate sense of pleasure. This is what ô-celli develops with incomparable verve.” – Serge Martin, Le Mad/Le Soir
Watch them play “La Strada” by Nino Rota and Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody”.
