ON THE BRIDGE Cello Ensemble was born in 2019 as an educational project of Stefano Cerrato’s teaching class. Its members are young career musicians from different musical backgrounds, all with wide experience in chamber music. Their name ironically refers to the innumerable times the teacher asked his students to play at the bridge thus getting a more projected sound (in this case extremely projected, playing “on” the bridge). The ensemble debuted at the prestigious International Music Festival in Portogruaro (Venice). Their first CD, Vocal Chords, was released in 2020. It is about a path that links old to modern and contemporary music, through famous or less-known original pieces, philological transcriptions, and world premieres.
