The cello’s range reaches easily from the lowest note of a good choir bass that can just about be sung up to the loftiest soprano heights. In addition to this wide range of registers, the instrument also has a rich tonal pallet. So cellists can sometimes go without their colleagues and replace an entire orchestra. That’s how the cello group of the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra do it too: they made their debut as an ensemble in their own right in the Elbphilharmonie Grand Hall in Ma 2017, and they have been returning to the venue regularly since then.
With arrangements of popular pieces of music, specially written for and in some cases by the members of the ensemble, the NDR ElphCellisten take the audience on a trip through different eras and genres – full of poetry, magical sounds and lively rhythms, with a dash of nostalgia and a spot of humour.
