Where music transcends geography, genre, and expectation.
Cello Beyond Borders is a bold and boundary breaking concert series created by internationally acclaimed cellist Sandro Sidamonidze. At its core, this series reimagines what a cello recital can be transforming each performance into a journey across cultures, histories, and deeply human experiences.
This isn’t just a classical series. It’s a musical dialogue between East and West, past and present, tradition and innovation. From Georgian warrior dances and Romantic masterworks to contemporary soundscapes and forgotten folk melodies, Cello Beyond Borders invites listeners to hear the cello not just as a classical instrument, but as a global storyteller.
Each concert is carefully curated around a central theme, emotional landscapes, cultural identity, exile and memory, or myth and modernity offering audiences not only virtuosity, but a sense of meaning and discovery. Collaborating with exceptional artists and presented in intimate, welcoming spaces, the series aims to dissolve the line between performer and listener.
Whether you’re a seasoned music lover or someone encountering classical music for the first time, Cello Beyond Borders is an invitation to connect through sound, through story, and through the shared experience of music that knows no borders.

The concert “Echoes Across Time,” the second performance of the series, traverses the Romantic and contemporary sound worlds from Mendelssohn’s radiant lyricism to Rachmaninoff’s elegiac depth and Kancheli’s meditative modernism. Together, these works form a poetic arc that reflects on memory, love, and transcendence across generations and continents.
