In 1972, a radio production of Julius Klengel's Hymnus for 12 Cellos performed by members of the Berlin Philharmonic led to the foundation of this ensemble of soloists, whose virtuoso sound has won over audiences all over the world.

Many contemporary composers have written works for them, such as Boris Blacher, Jean Françaix, Iannis Xenakis, Wolfgang Rihm, Brett Dean, Wilhelm Kaiser-Lindemann, Frangis Ali-Sade, Christian Jost, Kaija Saariaho and Tan Dun.

We will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the formation of the ensemble with a very special gala that will mix different musical genres with the unique sound of a dozen cellos.
