Rastrelli Cello Quartet

The Rastrelli Cello Quartet was founded in 2002 in Stuttgart, Germany, by three Russian and one Belarusian cellists.[1] It is a string ensemble consisting of four cellos.

The group took their name from the prominent 18th-century architect, Francesco Bartolomeo Rastrelli, who was associated with the city of Stuttgart.[2] The Rastrelli Cello Quartet performs in Europe,[3] the U.S.[4][5] and Russia.
