Music as a Foundation

CELLO takes a unique approach to incorporating music into the core of the narrative. This is the story of a maestro who is losing his ability to commune with what he loves most in life: playing his cello. Director Angie Su carefully researched and collaborated on creating a story which incorporates an authentic representation of the classical music world and the connection a performer has with the written music.

The story in CELLO is told directly through music, while incorporating images and dialogue.  

Lynn Harrell is a world renowned solo cellist, chamber musician, conductor and teacher whose presence has been felt throughout the music world for over 45 years. A two-time Grammy Award winner, he is also the recipient of numerous other awards including the Piatigorsky Award, and the Ford Foundation Concert Artists' Award. Attracted by the character, concept and story of the film CELLO, Lynn has graciously lent his talents as an actor and musician.
