✨ About the Series

Cello Beyond Border is a New York based concert series founded by cellist Sandro Sidamonidze, dedicated to presenting cross-cultural and emotionally immersive programs that reveal the universal language of music.

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.
