About this Event

“Peerless” and “pioneering” are words that get thrown around a lot, but visionary cellist, songwriter, and vocalist Mike Block is the kind of talent that more than lives up to such distinctions.

Frustrated by the stationary constraints of conventional cello playing (i.e. sitting down), Block invented a strap that allows him to stand while carrying the instrument against his body. The resulting physical freedom amplifies the dynamism and virtuosity of his performance style, and is echoed in his varied approach to nearly any genre of music.

Well-regarded for his work in Yo Yo Ma’s classical crossover smash The Silk Road Ensemble, as well as several of his own varied groups, Block is also a prolific singer and songwriter, and will focus on showcasing those talents in his 2nd SHIFT series debut.

You haven’t seen another artist quite like Mike Block, and you’re not going to want to miss this performance.
