Meet Benjamin Serur beyond the cello.
After 17 years of playing, Benjamin is still exploring what the cello can do: tapping the instrument, experimenting with strings and harmonics, and finding new ways to create sound.
But there’s much more to him than classical music.
He cooks, plays soccer, and as a Venezuelan, his playlist moves easily from classical music to salsa and reggaeton.
And then there’s the arepa…
Sometimes getting to know the artist changes the way we listen to the art.

I am so excited to finally announce this beautiful program! 🎶 My wonderful colleagues @burguete_marina, @_keh.ree_, @benjamincello and I will perform at @rccourtexas with two substantial pieces from classical chamber and orchestral repertoire: S. Prokofiev’s “Sinfonia Concertante”, and J. Brahms’s Clarinet Trio, Op. 114.

Both of these pieces highlight highest level of performer’s virtuosity, as well as incredible sensitivity and emotional expression. ✨

We are looking forward to sharing this beautiful music with you! Please spread the word and invite your friends!
You can purchase tickets directly at the venue or at www.ourtx.org. by @benjamincello
