Booking Cellists

Warm and expressive, the cello delivers a rich tone and is, in fact, the lowest-sounding member of the violin family. A standard instrument in orchestras and chamber music ensembles, a cello provides deep undertones that support the melody of classical music pieces. These four-stringed instruments are played by highly trained cellists. Suitable for solos or in ensembles, a cellist doesn't require much space. Typically a music stand and chair are all that is needed to accommodate a cellist. When grouping a cello with other instruments, allow one chair and music stand for each. While generally associated with classical music, the cello has been featured in several pop songs including the Beatles' "Eleanor Rigby" and "Strawberry Fields Forever" as well as numbers by Electric Light Orchestra to name a few.
