Cellist

By adding a second cello instead of the traditional second viola to his String  Quintet, Schubert redefined the boundaries of chamber music, giving his work an almost orchestral depth. The timeless Adagio is a pinnacle of expressiveness.

Schubert, Intensely!

The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts

Let yourself be moved by the expressive intensity of a cello ensemble. An OSM quartet offers transcriptions and original works from the French Romantic repertoire, from Chopin to Offenbach, combining the deep and velvety tones of their instruments.

Four cellos

The emotional centre or life-powering organ, numerous compositions have been inspired by the heart. In Another Little Piece of My Heart, Montgomery evokes passion and palpitations, while Murphy’s Strum is punctuated by a steady pulse of pizzicato notes similar to a heartbeat, and Glass’ celebrated “Mishima” Quartet is carried along by an uninterrupted stream of subtle emotions.
