_________________

There are no indifferent people to the cello, and when there are as many as five cellos on one stage, something truly interesting awaits. "Cello Club", an ensemble formed in 2020, which features five professional cellists - Povilas Jacunskas, Domas Jakštas, Arnas Kmieliauskas, Evaldas Petkus and Rokas Vaitkevičius.

The Cello Club was inspired by homogeneous ensembles that had already become popular in Western Europe, becoming ambassadors of both their instrument and the country. All five members of the Cello Club are musicians who are currently active on the Lithuanian stage. Povilas Jacunskas and Arnas Kmieliauskas are members of the Lithuanian State Symphony Orchestra, Domas Jakštas is the concertmaster of the cello group of the St. Christopher Chamber Orchestra, Evaldas Petkus plays in the Lithuanian National Symphony Orchestra, and Rokas Vaitkevičius is the concertmaster of the cello group of the Lithuanian National Opera and Ballet Theatre Orchestra. Cellists are also members of chamber ensembles, such as the string quartets Mettis and Chordos, the piano trio FortVio, and the contemporary music ensembles Synaesthesis and Twenty Fingers Duo.
