About

Splntrd Wood cello trio performs invigorating and cutting-edge concerts that cross divides between musical genres. Formed in 2013 by cellists Pierre Derycz, Ian Gottlieb and Matthew Park, the ensemble crafts its own audacious arrangements, deconstructing any type of music—from Brazilian folk to the symphonic orchestral canon—and presenting it anew through the inimitable and versatile sound of the cello. Forgoing expectations, Splntrd Wood concerts are exciting, memorable and relatable experiences for all listeners, regardless of musical background.

Music

One of the joys of self-arranging is that we can play literally anything we dream up. Previous concerts have included everything from Puccini to Palestrina, Mario Brothers to Scandinavian Folk, Bollywood, Carmina Burana, and French Cabaret, among many others.

Our program for 2018, Canções das Américas, celebrates the music of Latin America. Inspired by member Ian Gottlieb’s recent Fulbright fellowship to São Paulo, Brazil, the program features samba, bossa, forró, choro, tango and music from across the American continent. In addition to the usual gang, Splntrd Wood is excited to be joined by guest cellist Daniel Lim for part of the program.
