What do eight musicians of an orchestra do when they have so much fun making music together that they miss each other in their free time? ... They form an ensemble.
For this reason, the Eight Cellists of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra Christoph Stradner, Erik Umenhoffer, Michael Günther, Alexandra Ströcker, Zsófia Günther - Mészáros, György Bognár, Maria Grün and Peter Siakala indulge their passion for playing together - in original compositions as well as their own arrangements, which offer new and surprising perspectives on well-known works.
The Eight Cellists of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra were founded in 1980. Numerous renowned Austrian composers have written works for the ensemble. In the following ten years, over 100 concerts were given in Austria and abroad. The “Eight” have been back since 2005, with mostly new members.
