So I was messing around on Tik Tok last night and woke up to see this video going viral 😂 @kolusola laid down a nasty beat and I took the bait... #cello #cellohang #cellistsofinstagram #cellist #cellistoftheworld #cellomusic #violin #viola #strings #duet #kc #beats #music #classicalmusic #kcchiefs #kcroyals #insomniac
Having some fun jamming on Bach’s Fugue in G Minor during our lunch break teaching at @berkleecollege 🎻
Do you think Bach was the first jazz musician?! 🤔
What other Bach Partita works well as a jazz piece?

I’ve been on the road for the better part of the last 6 weeks with VSQ and some other gigs- lots of fun shows, very little practice. Feels good to just play to play, what a concept. Here’s a chorus of one of You Don’t Know What Love Is, trying to find some cool ideas.
We are so excited to announce more Guest Artists are joining our lineup: Helen Gillet and Intergalactic Cello Quartet (Jeremy Harman, Dave Haughey, Stijn Kuppens, and Gunther Tiedemann) join Ben Sollee, Brent Arnold, Shannon Hayden and Naseem Alatrash with Ize Trio at this June’s festival!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Random photo dump from week one on the road with @vitaminstringquartet in Texas- great week of shows with a chance to reconnect with some dear old friends (who some of you may recognize). Headed to KC tomorrow for a hometown show at the @uptowntheaterkc !! Concert photos by the wonderful @taylorkflynn
Psyched to be hitting the road with the @vitaminstringquartet in March for shows throughout the US and the UK! Particularly happy to have the chance to play in my hometown of Kansas City in addition to the many other great cities we are gonna hit- here’s a video I made early on in the audition process of an arrangement I did of Vampire by Olivia Rodrigo- we won’t be playing this one on tour but we may be playing a song that inspired the chord changes (wink) as well as a lot of other killer arrangements- hope to see some of you on the road!!

In loving memory of Richie Beirach (May 23, 1947-Jan 26, 2026). Once coined “The Code”, he was one of our latest collaborators as a group, and a long time friend, mentor, collaborator of Gregor’s. We are immensely grateful for the opportunity to have played with him a few times, both in Germany and here in the States. Throughout our trips, he shared a lot of his wisdom about music (accompanied by anecdotes and jokes) and we were merely scratching the surface of his depth. Our deepest condolences to his loved ones, may his memory be a blessing.
