Strung musicians specialize in playing the Cello, violin, any string instrument known for its versatility and expressive range. They can perform in various musical genres, including classical, jazz, folk, and contemporary music.
From Pablo Casals to Jacqueline du Pré, we celebrate some of the greatest cellists of the past 300 years.
Some are skilled in techniques such as bowing, fingering, and vibrato, which allow them to produce a wide array of tones and emotions from their instrument. Famous violinists throughout history include virtuosos like Niccolò Paganini, Jascha Heifetz, Itzhak Perlman, and contemporary artists like Lindsey contributing uniquely to the violin’s rich musical heritage.
