Duo Cello

Pippa Rans and Ruth Beedham, was formed in the summer of 2004 from a desire to explore the rich but unknown repertoire of this great combination. They have since played, amongst others, recitals at Hyde Park Chapel, St Mary le Strand and St Magnus the Martyr, and at functions at 30 St Mary Axe (The Gherkin), City Hall, Channel 4, the Reform Club, Hampton Court Palace, the Royal Academy of Arts and on board the Cutty Sark.

Audiences and clients at these high-profile events include the Duke of Edinburgh, Sir Nicholas Serota, Sir David Attenborough and Anton Mosimann to name a few! Their latest project is a commission from Lee Armstrong, who wrote his ‘Suite for Two Cellos’ for Duo Cello, which they premièred on 26th January 2006 at St Olave Church.
