About Cellissimo – professional Cellist based in Tuscany, Italy
Brazilian-born cellist and composer Cellissimo earned a degree in Composition from UNIRIO (Federal University of the State of Rio de Janeiro).
Recognized as "one of the most promising Brazilian cellists" by FNAC, Lisbon, Cellissimo is an official endorser of REMIC Microphones (Denmark) and a recipient of the prestigious PROAC 2022 award.
Now based in Tuscany, Cellissimo's musical journey has spanned far beyond Brazil, with studies in Portugal, Germany and Austria.
Throughout an international career, Cellissimo has performed with numerous renowned orchestras worldwide, including OSBJ (Rio de Janeiro), Volkshochschule (Karlsruhe), Pro-Arte Orchester and Darstellende Kunst Orchester (Vienna), and Académica da Metropolitana (Lisbon).
Notable stages have included the UNESCO Bienal Peace in Luanda and the Virada Cultural Paulista. Cellissimo is the creator of the innovative concept CELLOOP, a "one-man-orchestra concert" that merges cello and looping technology.
This concept has evolved to incorporate keyboard and electric guitar, transforming each performance into a complete one-man-band experience; bridging the worlds of classical and pop with a signature sound rooted in Tuscany. With three albums in the catalog and a history of global tours; including the IAMCHRIS: Citizen of the World tour, launched in 2017. Cellissimo brings a wealth of experience to every stage.
Beyond performance work, Cellissimo demonstrated a deep social commitment in 2014 by founding the Gratefulpath project, a concert tour across eight European countries dedicated to raising funds for the eradication of poliomyelitis.
