Since its founding in 2002, the Rastrelli Cello Quartet has been on a mission to prove that it is possible to play any kind of music on the cello, from baroque to rock. The ensemble's repertoire consists entirely of transcriptions, music not originally intended to be performed on the cello. Following one performance in Germany, a reviewer said the quartet provided "pure joy and musical fun of the finest calibre. The Rastrelli Cello Quartet dances along the borders among various musical genre." Pianist Ann Chang-Barnes, senior lecturer of piano and chamber music at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln School of Music, will perform with the quartet.
