Dublin’s alternative cello fest will witness the bowing and plucking of strings across the city.
Highlights include the premiere of an interactive piece by Claire Fitch, commissioned by Spike,
which will call on two cellists to react to movements on a screen, as if playing a game, to create a
piece of music. The festival opens with a special ‘Yocella’ session in the elbowroom. Other
highlights include Jonathan Nagle’s ‘The Curious Cello’ interactive installation in The Ark and a
performance, as well as workshop, by Ernst Reijseger whose genres range from blues and jazz
across minimalism and improvisation.
Various venues, Friday February 8 to Sunday February 10
