Norwegian cellist and Winchester resident Erlend Vestby is in high demand as a chamber musician. He performs with small ensembles and orchestras such as Sinfonia Smith Square, Gabrieli, Brandenburg Sinfonia and Baroque Soloists, Piccadilly Sinfonietta, Orchestra Nova, Florilegium, Charivari Agreable, Gothic Opera and the OAE experience scheme 2022. He is also one half of the cello duo The Duettists who will perform in Winchester Cathedral on 16th September. As a recitalist Erlend has frequently appeared at St John’s Smith Square (notably London Festival of Baroque Music for 3 years running), the Classic FM Christmas Concert 2022, and he did the full Bach Cello Suite cycle at the Dart Music Festival 2023 and 2024. Erlend is a graduate of the Royal College of Music where he studied with Jakob Kullberg and baroque cello with Richard Tunnicliffe, kindly supported by the Anglo-Norse Society. Erlend’s versatile musicality makes him not only a performer, but also a composer, teacher, and a keen researcher and lecturer on early 18th and early 20th century performance practices where the music of Bach and Elgar stand central.
