"I hired Sam to play live music at my planned proposal for my now fiancée! Sam was fantastic from start to finish - he communicated brilliantly from the initial booking and really supported with the organising of the event, making it easy for me. We gave Sam freedom with the repertoire to suit the occasion and the tunes played were spot on. His music really made our occasion feel that much more special. I would recommend Sam to anyone looking to arrange a proposal for their partner, we are also going to strongly consider booking him for our special day in a few years time. Thanks again Sam!"

"Sam is an exceptional musician!! We are really glad that we found him and had him as part of our wedding day. He was with us since the very beginning, helping us and providing his professional advice regarding our day’s plans. On the day, he honestly exceeded expectations. Spot on on everything that was discussed, amazing cellist with incredible skills! His music was great and everyone of our guests loved listening to him!we wish that we will have the chance to be able to hire him again in the future, as we did not have enough time to enjoy him, due to other commitments on the day(photos etc) Thanks again for everything Sam, you have been a blessing to us and I wish we see you again!! All the best, Nik and Alex xx "

FAQs about hiring Cellists in Stroud
Take the stress out of hiring musicians with Encore
How do you pronounce cellist?
In British English, the word "cellist" is pronounced as "CHEL-ist." The emphasis is on the first syllable, and the "c" is pronounced as "ch," making it sound like "CHEL-ist.”
What kind of music can a cellist play?
Just about anything! Cellists will usually be most comfortable playing classical music, but that doesn't mean they won't be able to put together a fresh rendition of your favourite pop, folk, or jazz tune. Always discuss any requests with the cellist beforehand to give them enough time to practice.
Will I need to provide the cellist with any equipment?
Other than a seat without arms, probably not. If your venue is small, they will likely play unamplified. All they'll need to make the music happen is their cello, a bow, and a receptive audience (oh, and probably a music stand). If your venue is larger, they should be able to provide amplification.
Can a cellist play the violin?
Whether or not a cellist can play the violin depends on their skills and experience. While there are some similarities between the two instruments, there are also some significant differences. Similarities - Both instruments are bowed stringed instruments, which means that they are played by rubbing a bow across strings to produce sound. - Both instruments have four strings. - Both instruments are used in a variety of musical genres, including classical, jazz, and folk. Differences - The violin is significantly smaller than the cello. This means that cellists will need to adapt their technique to play the violin, such as using a shorter bow and adjusting their fingering positions. - The cello has a warmer, richer sound than the violin. This is due to the larger size of the cello and the way that its sound resonates within the cello's body. - The violin is more agile and expressive than the cello. This is due to the smaller size of the violin and the fact that it is held closer to the body, which allows cellists to use more arm and hand movements. While it is possible for cellists to learn to play the violin, it will require some adjustment and practice. If you are interested, we have multi-instrumentalists on our books, including cellists who play the violin. Get in touch with one of our experts today to find the right one for your event.
