In 2011 and 2014, the International Cello Festival of Canada took the City of Winnipeg by storm. As a nod to those memorable events, four cello friends come together to offer an eclectic evening of cello fun (with pianist Jean Saulnier) for the young and old, ranging from Vivaldi to Metallica, from Arvo Part to the Beatles, from Albinoni to Ellington, and from Piazzolla to Queen. Who can resist the cello…

​

* For those attending the in-person concert, you are invited to join us at 7:00 pm for Cello Matters with Simon Fryer and Host Andrea Ratuski.
