Providing top-tier solo cello performances is my specialty, with the option for acoustic or amplified sound tailored to your event size. If needed, I can assemble an ensemble of 2-4 musicians. Since launching my professional career in 2021, I've participated in hundreds of weddings and events. I have a passion for various music genres, but my expertise lies primarily in classical, pop, and jazz music.
Cecelia’s Cello Studio was perfect for our event. We had a celebration of life party! Her music along with the violinist she also secured for the event were fabulous! They played wonderful sets of music, classical and classical pop ie. Bridgerton style. I know my mother in law was loving every last minute of the music as were all the guest. The music and ease of Gig Salad was a blessing. Thank you.
Cecelia was the perfect complement to my outdoor wedding. She guided me through the process of selecting the songs that would sound the best for our setting (string duet). Cecelia played my all-time favorite song as I was walking down the aisle, making my dream wedding come true.
