ensembles from the Belli Celli and ACE, to for the past 15 years Cellophonics. Members of past
Cellophonics have gone on to become international stars of the concert stage after they completed their
studies at the University of Waikato such as Santiago Canon Valencia and Edward King, and there are
potential stars of the future within this current group of very talented students. Ever changing, ever evolving, cellophonics continues to inspire composers to create works for the group that enlargen a
growing popularity with audiences around the world for exciting and inspiring cello ensembles.
