Meet the Masters
Cellophonics
Champions of all things Cello, Christopher Allan, Ian Burdge, Adrian Bradbury and Ben Rogerson make up the quartet Cellophonics.
Their performances brim with warmth and sparkle with virtuosity, bringing to life the contrasting characteristics of the cello.
From the operatic tones of Puccini's 'Tosca', to the driving rhythms of jazz lord Guy Barker's specially commissioned 'Wood on the Tracks'. With a myriad of stops along the way, their eclectic musical journey is something for everyone – be they music lovers in general, or the more seriously afflicted cello-holic.
In addition to Cellophonic Quartet, we are delighted to have Tony Woollard and Gemma Rosefield to join the faculty team.
