Die 12 Cellisten

**Die 12 Cellisten** When one instrument can echo an entire orchestra, it is the cello – a versatile voice that sings, soars, roars, and even rocks across every register of the sound spectrum. No one demonstrates this power better than the twelve cellists of the Berlin Philharmonic. For over fifty years, this legendary ensemble has celebrated the endless sonic possibilities of their instruments, and now in Düsseldorf they unleash an incomparable euphoria of sound that swings from lush Debussy and gentle Villa‑Lobos to the unmistakable thrill of film music. On 48 strings, two women and ten men breathe life into the most dramatic love stories, heart‑wrenching tragedies, and electrifying passions you know from the silver screen – from **James Bond** to **Titanic** to **Once Upon a Time in the West**. In an evening that joyfully expands the horizons of classical concert, the magic of twelve celli is discovered in perfect harmony. **Program Highlights** - Heitor Villa‑Lobos – *Bachiana Brasileira No. 1* for eight cellos - Gabriel Fauré – *Pavane op. 50* - Claude Debussy – *Moonlight* - Michel Legrand – *A Woman Is a Woman* - Chabuka Granda – *The Cinnamon Flower* - Astor Piazzolla – *Escape and Mystery* - John Barry – *James Bond* - Jerry Goldsmith – *Basic Instinct* - Leonard Bernstein – *I Like to Be in America (West Side Story)* - George Shearing – *Lullaby of Birdland* - John Williams – *Schindler's List* - James Horner – *Titanic* - Herman Hupfeld – *As Time Goes By* - Henry Mancini – *The Pink Panther* - Ennio Morricone – *Once Upon a Time in the West* (reprise of *Once Upon a Time in the West*) Experience an extraordinary night where classical mastery meets cinematic wonder—together, twelve cellos create a soundscape that is as thrilling as it is sublime.
