Roger Morelló Ros Cello
Roger Morelló Ros (b. Catalonia 1993) is a committed, expressive, and highly imaginative cellist with a remarkable ability to connect with his audience, serving as a communicative bridge between creator, creation, and listener. He creates performances that convey passion, authenticity, and spontaneity, captivating both audiences and organizers in prestigious venues such as the Philharmonie Berlin, the Suzhou Bay Grand Theater in China, Palau de la Música Catalana or Casa Milà (Gaudí’s building in Barcelona), where he was an Artist in Residence.
Winner of more than 30 grants and prizes in competitions, Morelló’s solo career has led to collaborations with numerous orchestras as a soloist, including the Brussels Philharmonic Orchestra,and has been invited to important festivals such as Verbier Festival, Klavier-Festival Ruhr, Rheinhessen Musikfestival (Artist in Residence 2024), Schumannfest Düsseldorf, or the Life Victoria Barcelona (Sant Pau - UNESCO), to name just a few.
