Geraint Downing

Geraint is a professional cellist who has played the instrument since the age of four. He is a West End performer with extensive experience working at the highest professional level in theatre, live performance, and recording environments. His background in large-scale productions has given him exceptional musical discipline, adaptability, and confidence, all of which he brings to every engagement. Equally at home on acoustic and electric cello, Geraint offers a versatile and distinctive sound. Alongside traditional classical repertoire, he specialises in contemporary and crossover styles, using electric cello and live looping to create rich, cinematic textures. This modern approach makes his work particularly well suited to events, jazz bars, contemporary weddings, and bespoke performances. His repertoire spans classical music, film scores, modern arrangements, jazz-influenced material, and original compositions. He is highly attuned to shaping performances to suit the atmosphere of a space, whether providing elegant background music or delivering a more featured, expressive set. As a freelance performer, Geraint is professional, reliable, and fully self-sufficient, with extensive experience performing solo and collaborating with other musicians. His work combines musical depth with a modern edge, delivered with the assurance and quality expected of a West End performer.
