Woodwind Musicians in CanadaProfessional cellists in Canada offer live music for weddings, corporate events, private parties and formal occasions. Solo cello players are a versatile choice, performing everything from classical favorites to contemporary arrangements, and needing minimal space - just a chair and music stand - to perform at almost any venue.
These cello players typically perform in sets of 30 to 45 minutes. For wedding ceremonies, many cellists can provide music as guests arrive, during the processional, through the signing of the register, and as the couple exits. Cocktail hours and dinner service are also popular booking options. Most professional cellists can learn specific songs on request, and many offer both acoustic and electric cello to suit the venue and atmosphere.

Jennifer Moersch, Cellist & Ensembles
"Jennifer was great! Extremely patient with me and the last minute changes, came on time, played beautifully and left a great impression on all the attendees. I will definitely recommend her if anyone ever needs a cellist in Vancouver."
Catherine Little Cello
"My daughter and I attended your concert. It would be an hounour to have you visit our town (for your next concert). Thanks for giving my daughter and myself a wonderful memory."
Aurora Quartet
"The Aurora string quartet played the ceremony and cocktail hour of the wedding. They were absolutely wonderful. Better than expected. The players are so professional! They added music to their repertoire for our event on request. Everything they did was perfect.
Top marks for this group of great musicians."
CelloWithElena
"There is a unique experience when listening to a live solo performance, and more so that of a deep and soulful sound of a cello. It approximates human expression at its most meaningful and expressive voice.
Elena is a true and immersed practitioner, and there are no words that can adequately convey the impact of her performance. It simply has to be experienced.
The cello, particularly when played as a singular instrument, is unforgiving, and in Elena, we have found a true master."
