Giovanni Sollima – Music Up Close Cello Ensemble
Music productions by young orchestral ensembles
After performing concerts at the Cello Biennale Amsterdam and the Parco della Musica in Rome, cellist Giovanni Sollima conducts the Music Up Close Cello Ensemble in Barcelona, a group that features young cellists selected by the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia (Rome), the Netherlands Philharmonic Orchestra (Amsterdam) and L’Auditori.
This project, which forms part of the European Music Up Close Network cooperation programme, has given young people the opportunity to work with the celebrated Italian cellist who has devised a repertoire that enables us to travel through Europe and the traditions of its countries. It is the “story of a history”, exploring cultures that are seemingly distant but that have become interconnected and continue to fuse today.
This concert is the result of the co-production between the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, the Netherlands Philharmonic Orchestra (Amsterdam) and L’Auditori de Barcelona.
