Arne Zeller (born October 4th, 2006) started playing the cello at the age of six and at age 14 became member of the precollege class of Professor Peter Bruns at the “Hochschule für Musik und Theater Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy” Leipzig while continuing high school. Since October 2024, he studies with Frans Helmerson at Kronberg Academy. Arne Zeller has shared the stage with artists including Gidon Kremer, Lawrence Power, Jens Peter Maintz, Peter Bruns, Valentin Erben, Noémie Bialobroda, Sergey Ostrovsky, Jan Vogler, and Torleif Thedéen, as well as the Eliot Quartett. In October 2024, Arne formed a piano trio with violinist Leonhard Baumgartner and pianist Simon Haje, which, through the Academy of Music in Liechtenstein, will perform an international series of concerts during 2025
“Apollonian-inspired sounds flinging their arms wide, hardly comprehensible in their beauty and spiritual depth,” the Südwest-Presse wrote about the cellist Lionel Martin. “A wonderfully sensitive artist with spontaneous reactions and great imagination,” is Anne-Sophie Mutter’s evaluation of the musician from Germany.
Born in Berlin in 2002, Michael Wehrmeyer discovered his passion for the cello at the age of five, inspired by his older sister’s violin playing. Listening to her often, his interest in music developed quite naturally.
