Spirit of the Cello


The Los Angeles Philharmonic and a virtuoso cellist lead

the audience on a humorous exploration of the role of the

cello, through music by Handel, Haydn and Mendelssohn.

Our cellist learns the true spirit of the instrument, and his

cello discovers many other possibilities for making music

besides being in the spotlight.
