EKSTASIS DUO: FROM THE SHADOWS

Cello and piano music that lifts the spirit can be intensely joyful, profoundly moving, and unforgettable.

Ekstasis: “The experience of standing outside of oneself.”

​Natasha and Eliran met as students at Juilliard. After exciting performances in New York City and upstate New York, the two decided to embark on a new mission: to create compelling programming celebrating masterpieces alongside the secret jewels of lesser-known works.

The duo is committed to creating juxtapositions and similarities through daring programming. They thrive on the contrast, intensity, and passion that they find in these compositions. Their concert programs tell a story, ruminate on the human condition, and set an atmosphere through sound.
