Iván Nogueira (cello) The cello has long been called the instrument that most closely resembles the human voice — warm, expressive, and capable of touching the deepest emotions. In Cello Dreams, we invite you on a journey through some of the world’s most beloved melodies, reimagined through the rich and singing tones of the cello.

From timeless classics to lyrical film themes, these are tunes that live in our shared musical memory — melodies that have moved generations, transcending time and genre. Whether softly whispering a lullaby or soaring with passion, the cello becomes both storyteller and singer, breathing new life into familiar music.

This programme celebrates the art of melody — music that speaks directly to the heart. Each piece offers a glimpse into a different world of sound: the grace of classical masterpieces, the nostalgia of romantic favorites, and the cinematic beauty of modern song. Together, they form a dreamscape woven from the cello’s voice — intimate, expressive, and endlessly evocative.

So close your eyes, listen, and let these classics you know and love take shape once more — through the dreamlike song of the cello.
