The ‘Berliners’ will grace the Biennale with their presence, alongside ensembles from the USA, Belgium, Latvia, France, the Netherlands and even China. The Biennale will be one colossal cello feast. The programming will appeal to interested passers-by, seasoned music lovers and cello fanatics alike, as well as to children and young talent.
