Giovanni Sollima is a true cello virtuoso and an extraordinary composer. He communicates music bursting with Mediterranean rhythms, typical Italian melodies and covering all stylistic periods: from baroque to metal.

Sollima performs mostly his own compositions, contributing greatly to the creation of new repertoire for the cello. His audience is very diverse, ranging from lovers of classical music to young metalheads. Giovanni Sollima plays them all flat. In addition to his own work and a few traditionals, Sollima will play compositions by Jean Sibelius, Jimmy Hendrix and Johann Sebastian Bach in Oranjewoud.
