CELLIST HIRE
The beautiful sound of the cello evokes intense romanticism, and being in the same register as the human voice, is a very popular choice of instrument for weddings and proposals. Just think of the recent royal wedding – the solo cello with orchestra made a stunning impression!
Our cellists at London Strings are some of the most experienced in London and regularly perform as soloists for both concerts and events. Usually, the cello works best with a piano accompanist, but a solo cello is definitely appropriate and recommended in many situations. It can also be a good choice for a classical wedding ceremony or romantic wedding proposal, and there are a few pieces of music that work beautifully for solo cello, including popular classical favourites like the Solo Cello Suites by Bach, The Swan by Saint-Saëns, Après un Rêve by Faurè, Salut d’Amour by Elgar, Ave Maria by Schubert, and arrangements of famous pop songs for cello like ‘Can’t Help Falling in Love’, ‘A Thousand Years’ and ‘Besame Mucho’.
Our cellists are based in London but are happy to travel for your event, including internationally.
For more information about whether a solo cellist, violin & cello duo, string quartet, string trio or other ensemble is right for you, please check out our post: Which ensemble should I hire for my event?
We look forward to working with you and making your special day memorable!
