Slovak Works For Cello Quartet
Cellomania ensemble was established in 2000 by its founder Eugen Prochác. Members of this group are significant Slovak cellists - Jozef Lupták, Jozef Podhoranský, Eugen Prochác and Ján Slávik. All musicians are active as soloists, chamber-music players, music teachers and they organize musical projects. The repertoire of the ensemble is quite extensive - from baroque to the contemporary music. It consists of adaptations as well as original compositions for this ensemble. The ensemble introduced plays of several Slovak composers (Juraj Beneš, Ilja Zeljenka, Peter Kolman andothers). The ensemble cooperated with world-famous composer Sofia Gubajdulina. They introduced her pieces (quartet, septet and octet) during Melos Éthos festival in 2003. In October 2005 the ensemble brought in the world premiere of its octet version ”Cello Counterpoint” by Steve Reich. Cellomania is regularly taking part in the important Slovak festivals. From a number of foreign performances it is important to mention prestigious cello festivals in Beauvais, Paris, Regensburg and Budapest.
