2CELLOS
High-octane cello duels that transform pop and rock hits into cinematic, string-shredding spectacles. Virtuosic, aggressive, and unexpectedly loud.

Imagine the refined elegance of a concert hall suddenly being struck by a bolt of pure arena rock lightning. This is music that treats the cello not as a polite orchestral instrument, but as a weapon of sonic mass destruction. It is physical, sweaty, and intensely rhythmic, bridging the gap between Bach and AC/DC with a sense of drama that feels both ancient and cutting-edge.
What truly sets this duo apart is their ability to mimic the textures of electric guitars and percussion using only four strings and a bow. You can hear the wood groaning under the pressure of aggressive riffs and the percussive snap of bows hitting the fingerboard. It is a masterclass in how to strip a song down to its melodic bones and then rebuild it with orchestral muscle.
Start with their cover of 'Smooth Criminal' to see the viral spark that started it all, then move to 'Celloverse' for a deeper look at their ability to weave film-score grandeur into high-energy rock arrangements. It is the perfect gateway for people who find classical music too stiff and rock music too predictable.
2Cellos (stylized 2CΞLLOS) were a Croatian cellist duo, consisting of classically trained cellists Luka Šulić and Stjepan Hauser. Signed to Sony Masterworks in 2011, they released six albums. The duo played instrumental arrangements for cellos of well-known pop and rock songs, as well as classical and film music. The duo performed internationally and were featured on several American television series including Glee and The Bachelor (Sean and Catherine's Wedding). They continue to be active as solo performers.
