2CELLOS – On The Road
Croatian cellists Luka Sulic and Stjepan Hauser took the world by storm back in 2011 with their instrumental version of Michael Jackson’s ‘Smooth Criminal‘. Their beautiful, frenzied take on the pop hit redefined both the popular conception of the cello, as well as the capacities of ‘classical’ musicians in general. Their style has broken boundaries between different genres of music, from classical and film music, to pop and rock, and from Bach and Vivaldi to AC/DC and Nirvana.
Catch 2CELLOS live at The Kallang Theatre on the 16th of July, 8pm. Tickets are still available on Sistic.
Cocktail O’ Clock
