Join us for a program featuring various show pieces for cello quartet, including a Telemann Concerto and arrangements of popular American folk tunes.
Charity Cellos
The Charity Cellos met while playing together in the Oakland Civic Orchestra, a volunteer community orchestra funded by Oakland Parks and Recs. We cellists really love our instrument, and it is our opinion (and we hope you agree) that out of the four instruments in the violin family, the cello has the most dynamic and emotive range -- with the depth and power of our lower strings up to the singing, voice-like tones of the upper registers. It is this wonderful range that allows each cello to cover the range of parts that make up a quartet. We hope to share our love of the cello through public performance while also inspiring support for community and charity organizations.
