Duo Cellissimo Yehudi Menuhin Live Music Now
The cello captivates with its warm, expressive sound, which is particularly close to the human voice. When two cellos play together, an extraordinary richness unfolds. At times, their voices merge into a harmonious whole; at others, they engage in a lively dialogue, alternating between lyrical intimacy and virtuosic exuberance.
The varied programme spans a wide musical spectrum from the Baroque era to the 20th century. Works by Johann Sebastian Bach, Joseph Haydn, Ludwig van Beethoven and Jean-Baptiste Barrière feature on the programme, alongside compositions by Camille Saint-Saëns, David Popper, Edward Elgar, Scott Joplin, Friedrich Zehm and Justus Johann Friedrich Dotzauer. The programme brings together Baroque elegance, Classical clarity, Romantic sonority and the rousing rhythms of ragtime.
Sofia Blându, born in Romania in 2003, is studying at the Berlin University of the Arts under Konstantin Heidrich. The multi-award-winning cellist performs regularly as a soloist and chamber musician across Europe and was a member of the Orchestra Academy of the Deutsche Oper Berlin during the 2025/2026 season. She plays a valuable 18th-century cello by the Italian luthier Giovanni Battista Guadagnini.
Jan Sekaci, born in Oradea, Romania, in 2001, studied at the Barenboim-Said Academy under Frans Helmerson and is also continuing his studies at the Berlin University of the Arts under Konstantin Heidrich. He has won prizes at numerous international competitions, including the prestigious Johannes Brahms Competition in 2021. He is a member of the Boulez Ensemble.
Both musicians are supported by the Yehudi Menuhin Live Music Now Berlin programme.
The concert also marks the celebratory conclusion of the exhibition ‘GLEICHNISSE’ by the artist Gerenot Richter. Thus, on this afternoon, the visual arts and music will come together in the unique atmosphere of the Krankenhauskirche in Wuhlgarten.
