Cellists for hire in Dublin
Latest reviews of our Cellists in Dublin
"Janna played during our wedding ceremony this October, and she was absolutely amazing from start to finish. From the moment she accepted the job to the day of the wedding, she was professional, kind, and incredibly accommodating. As I’m Norwegian and wanted to include some Norwegian pieces, Janna not only learned and performed them beautifully but also sent me recordings she had made with her pianist beforehand. She even went above and beyond by writing out cello music for a Coldplay song I requested. I would highly recommend Janna to anyone looking for a talented and professional cellist, she truly made our ceremony unforgettable!"

"Hannah played at our celebration last weekend and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her. In the build-up, she was always quick to reply and communication was easy and reassuring. My wife and I were so happy we booked her, as her performance provided grace and elegance to the occasion. She is a superb cellist with a huge repertoire of classical and contemporary (pop) music. All our guests kept telling us how much they enjoyed the music and repeatedly complimented Hannah's skills as a musician. If I organised another party, I would definitely book her again. Thank you, Hannah - you really made our celebration feel special. "

FAQs about hiring Cellists in Dublin

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.
