Festival “Cello Cēsis”

The first cello festival founded in the Baltic and Nordic region, Cello Cēsis aims to help the listeners discover the inimitable voice and diverse sound of the cello through performances of both world-renowned cello players and young musicians, as well as the excellent acoustics of the new built Cēsis Concert Hall. The unique programme of the festival is tailored to demonstrate the essence and the most brilliant musical pieces written for the cello, from Baroque to the present day, from world masterpieces of cello music to pieces by Latvian, Baltic and Nordic composers. In 2017 Cello Cēsis have been awarded the EFFE Label 2017‒2018, the sign of quality bestowed on the most outstanding of European festivals. EFFE (Europe for Festivals, Festivals for Europe) is a label launched by the European Festivals Association, conferred on the most prominent European festivals.
