I still remember the days in music class when students could pick their instruments for the semester. Most of my classmates would shy away from the cello, considering it less exciting compared to the guitar, drums, or even the violin. However, if there’s anyone who can completely change how people view the cello, it’s Luka Šulić and Stjepan Hauser from 2CELLOS.
These two talented musicians, collectively known as 2CELLOS, are a Croatian cello duo who have redefined what the instrument can do. Their ability to combine classical music with modern genres is nothing short of extraordinary. One of their most unforgettable performances is their rendition of Iron Maiden’s The Trooper. In true 2CELLOS fashion, they begin by playing the energetic and recognizable “William Tell Overture” by Gioachino Rossini. Just when their nightclub audience is captivated by their classical skills, they switch gears, launching into an electrifying metal performance of The Trooper.
This unique blend of genres showcases their technical prowess and creativity while proving that the cello is anything but boring. Luka and Stjepan push the boundaries of what’s possible with the instrument, transforming it into a versatile tool for both classical masterpieces and modern rock anthems.
