Cellist

London

I have been singing, playing piano and playing cello for more than 12 years, and have worked with renowned musicians from the London Haydn String Quartet, and cellists such as Yo Yo Ma and Robert Cohen. My performance highlights include solos given at the Roundhouse and the Royal Festival Hall. I have always been a passionate chamber music, both in the classical and folk/country genres, and am the cellist in country band, Iris & Steel. (irisandsteel on instagram) I have composed for groups and solo players and have written scores for short films in collaboration with award-winning choreographer Mthuthuzeli November, of Ballet Black. I have also recently done sound design for a virtual theatre project titled NEVERGREEN, as part of the Living Record Festival. I currently study at the Abbey Road Institute, where I run sessions, engineer, mix and produce music.

Customer questions

Do you have different line-up options?

I do! These include... - Solo Cello - Backing Tracks - Loop Pedal - Cello and Violin - Cello and Piano - Cello and Guitar - Cello and Vocals - Full band (Cello, Violin, Guitar and Vocals)

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

As long as we keep in communication, then it should all run smoothly! I will do my best to fit to your needs, so just let me know.

How much time do you need to set up?

Depending on the particulars of the performance, I will need between 1 and 1.5 hours! After my PA is set up I can act as a DJ until my set if you would like!

Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?

I am more than happy to discuss the set list, so as to make sure that you are pleased with the choices.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

For acoustic performances, I will of course bring my own instrument. In some cases, it would be useful to know if there is a speaker system at the venue, so as to amplify my instrument for either the Loop Pedal Line-Up, or other instruments for the Line-UPS involving other musicians.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

I would be happy to cater to whatever pieces you would like, as long as I believe I can do a good job. Because of the rehearsal time needed, there would be a fee or £30 for any new song you would like, unless of course I already know it!

Performance duration	Price
Short performance (up to 15 min)	£75
Up to 1 hour	£175
Up to 2 hours	£260
Up to 3 hours	£350

Loop Pedal

This higher price goes towards the higher level of equipment and rehearsal that is involved in crafting a set for Loop Pedal. This will be a creative, exciting set that involves just a cello, creating an orchestra of sound and allows for a very varied set list! It is a more interactive set than a standard cello performance.

£360

Two Musicians

This cost covers the introduction of another musician (piano, violin, vocals or guitar) to the usual acoustic sound. It will mean for a higher quality performance, and will give more flexibility for song choice.

£500

Wedding ceremony + Drinks reception + Dinner

- Music before the service begins, music during the signing of the register, and music as guests leave. - 2 x 45 min performances at the drinks reception. - 2 x 45 min performances as dinner is being served. *This can involve up to 3 other musicians, depending on the client's wishes.

£750

Bespoke music video

Georgina was an absolute joy to work with and her richness of tone greatly enhanced the short film score we collaborated on.

"Georgina is an extraordinary performer whose musicality shines through everything she turns her hands to. From performing with me as a cellist at my headline show for the Cello Unwrapped Festival at King's Place to recording on several tracks for my debut album 'Road Runner'. She is a delight to work with and I look forward to the unfolding of her blossoming career in music."
