About this Event
William Jack is a multi-style cellist and songwriter from South Australia. He is best known for incorporating his jazz guitar background into an unconventional style of cello playing, with a passion for breaking boundaries between genres and cultures. His music transitions seamlessly from virtuosic folk & bluegrass compositions, to non-Western sound worlds.
Since his classical studies in Vienna, William has forged his own cello pathway, touring Europe, Australia and the UK extensively. He has recently performed his solo compositions from his debut album ‘This Old Cello Box’ live on BBC Radio 3 at the Edinburgh Fringe, and was selected to perform as a ‘New Folk’ songwriter at the 2023 Kerrville Folk Festival in Texas. He has been fortunate to work with numerous world-renowned artists, both as a session musician and collaborator. William is passionate about redefining the possibilities of the cello and bringing the instrument into new territories.
William is currently touring his 2024 sophomore album ‘This Old Cello Box, Vol.2’
