Rastrelli Cello Quartet These four fabulous Russian cellists live in Germany and formed their unique ensemble in 2003. Since then they have performed across Europe, Russia and Canada, and now are in the midst of their second tour in the mid section of the United States. Their repertoire consists entirely of transcriptions of pieces not intended to be performed on the cello, including serious classical music by Tchaikovsky, Handel, Saint-Saens, Rachmaninoff, Grieg and Mendelssohn, as well as favorites by Gershwin, Leroy Anderson, Dave Brubeck and Leonard Bernstein. Combine that with their skill and artistry, and you’ve got one exciting and entertaining program. Sponsored by: (Yikes! This could be YOU! Don't miss another opportunity.
