Duo CellAr – Danilo Cabaluz and Julia Willeitner
In February 2013 we met as students in the Universität Mozarteum Salzburg and in June we founded our Duo.
Because of the rare combination Cello/Guitar and the very small repertoire we became a big motivation to create something new.
We startet a little trip through the different music-styles of Europe and South-America and began to arrange for our instruments. In our repertoire arises an alternation between the traditional folk-music of Lateinamerica with the classical-european music.
We already create a few concerts in Germany, Austria, Spain and in summer 2014 we made our first tournee through Chile.
In november 2015 we published our first CD “La vida breve“.
