With five cellos only I created this Ode to Joy cello version composed by Beethoven. The theme from the 9th symphony with only strings brings out out even more "warmth" from the piece. I really like the result and i'm happy that I can present it to you today. Haven't seen anyone else do it before with only strings so thought it was time! As one of the most performed symphonies in the world, the Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Op. 125, is a choral symphony and the final complete symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven. It was composed between 1822 and 1824 and first performed in Vienna on 7 May 1824. The symphony is regarded as Beethoven's greatest work and one of the supreme achievements in the history of music. The symphony was the first example of a major composer using voices in a symphony. The words are sung during the final (4th) movement of the symphony by four vocal soloists and a chorus. They were taken from the "Ode to Joy", a poem written by Friedrich Schiller in 1785 and revised in 1803, with text additions made by Beethoven. And today you have experienced it with only cellos!

In everything I do I believe in communicating through music so we can all connect and be a part of the same worldwide language, emotions. I believe that life is a never ending journey. It’s a journey to always improve while challenging the status quo in the music industry and think differently with my craft. I do this by combining my career in cello playing and interest in recording. I create classic music with my cello, want to join the journey?
