The Beautiful 'Cello

Looking through photos  taken at Sydney Mozart Society concert rehearsals over the last year, it was hard not to be struck by what a beautiful instrument the 'cello is - the curved shape, the rich ccolour, the sheen of the varnish and the elegant scroll of the neck. We've  put together a collection of our favourite photos of 'cellos and virtuoso performers from past concert rehearsals. Enjoy!
