SoloCello EmilyMitchell

Both cellist and composer, performing Solo Cello for weddings and events with backing tracks and PA, she also composes and records production music for tv and radio, and is a freelance cellist with orchestras, solo artists and the Brighton Cello Quartet, as well as recording in studios in Brighton and London. Trained at the Royal Academy of Music, and now a professional for over 15 years, she has extensive experience performing at prestigious venues, concerts, recitals, weddings and studio recordings. Her self-contained solo set-up enables her to play for a wide range of events whilst providing a beautiful accompaniment for any occasion. A highly suitable live music option for post-Covid weddings due to being a solo, string instrument, Emily has weddings continuing throughout 2021 for clients who want to go ahead, adhering to the current restrictions. Backing tracks are carefully selected to ensure the highest levels of taste and quality for classical, jazz and pop, many of them her own arrangements used for broadcast on radio and tv. She uses a high quality PA and can also amplify the cello if greater projection is needed. For most weddings and smaller receptions the acoustic cello with tracks is sufficient. From classical favourites such as Pachelbel, Handel, Beethoven and Elgar, to jazz favourites of Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Bernstein and Gershwin; from Cyndi Lauper, Sting and Robbie Williams to Clean Bandit, Ed Sheeran, Ellie Goulding and Jess Glynne, there is music to suit all tastes from Emily's warm, expressive cello tones. Performing freelance with various orchestras she is also a member of the Brighton Cello Quartet, and The Celli Quartet based in London, who perform at prestigious venues such as the V&A, the Tower of London, House of Commons, British Museum, Selfridges and many more. Her composing and recording of production music has seen use on BBC1, BBC Radio 4, BBC Worldwide documentaries, and film trailers. Recordings are with Sync Music, Music Gateway and Arms Production Music. She also records for various singers and artists based in Brighton ranging from folk, pop and indie to electronic music.
