They have made music history – not only as a section of one of the world’s pre-eminent orchestras. For five decades, the 12 Cellists of the Berlin Philharmonic have had a presence on playbills around the world as an independent ensemble, cultivating not only their very own sound, but something akin to a genre, having inspired countless new compositions and arrangements for their unusual combination of instruments. Reasons aplenty for a «Best of the last 50 years» programme – always with a wink and a nod. Before the twelve put bow to string at 7 pm on March 20, they welcome a young audience at 4 pm for their programme «Hello Cello!».
