Our story began many years ago, when we were still children. All of us started playing the cello at a young age, and over the years—through lessons and numerous orchestral and chamber music experiences—we met and found ourselves playing together. Sharing the same teacher gave us many opportunities to collaborate, even if at first not always on a regular basis.
The repertoire for four cellos has never been particularly extensive, and the available arrangements often require technical precision and close attention to detail. In the early years we focused on what we could handle: small arrangements of Libertango, Popper’s Requiem, and other similar pieces. Each rehearsal, besides being a moment of musical growth, was also a chance to have fun and share our passion for music.
Over time we realized that playing together is one of the most rewarding artistic experiences. Between intense rehearsals, concerts, and logistical challenges—such as our study periods and moves abroad—we came to understand that friendship and musical professionalism are what drive us forward. And so, here we are: four musicians, four cellos, and a shared passion, always ready to turn every concert and every rehearsal into a musical experience that is engaging, refined, and authentic.
