Latest reviews of our Cellists in Cowes
"Bibra did such a beautiful job playing the cello at our church-wedding in May. From start to finish, Bibra was an absolute delight to work with. She was super communicative, accommodated all of our requests, and went above and beyond to help select the perfect arrangements and rehearse with the organist well in advance of the ceremony. We can't wait to see the video recording of the ceremony just to listen to Bibra's beautiful renditions! An absolute class act. Thank you Bibra for making our ceremony so special. "

"What a wonderful experience! Bibra was absolutely fantastic throughout our ceremony and wedding breakfast and so many people commented on how beautiful the music was. Bibra was incredible all the way through the process, learning new songs for us and being very responsive and easy to work with throughout. We actually got the timings wrong but Bibra was kind enough to change her timings for us. I could go on about how great everything was and cannot recommend Bibra enough to anyone considering her wonderful playing. Thank you so much Bibra for being a highlight of our wedding! "
Alice hired Bibra for a Wedding (available in Cowes)
"There is not one thing that I can fault Erlend for in regards to hiring him for a studio session of an original composition I made. Erlend's Playing was absolutely spot on, and it was brilliant to have the live feedback of a clearly very experienced cellist. Communication, Professionalism, and Punctuality were all brilliant. Incredibly satisfied with the end result too."

FAQs about hiring Cellists in Cowes
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.
