Eight cellos playing the music you've loved your whole life.

Ô-Celli takes the emblematic themes of your favourite movies—from E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial to Harry Potter—and reimagines them for eight cellos.

The ensemble is made up of eight classically trained cellists from some of Europe’s leading orchestras. These include the Orchestre de Paris, the Opéra de Paris, and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra of Liège. Based in Brussels, Ô-Celli is driven by a simple idea: pleasure! The pleasure they share on stages across the world and the pleasure they see reflected in the audience’s eyes.

Critics have called Ô-Celli "magnificently unique," "a tour de force," and a performance of "unmatched nerve."

They take their classical precision and turn it toward the melodies that defined our childhoods. A remarkable tribute to the art of cinema.
