Weiner Cello Octet / Weiner Csellóoktett

The Weiner Cello Octet’s Channel
At the Weiner Leó Catholic Music School, we give special importance to chamber music. In 2006, we put together a cello octet from our most talented students, led by Andrea Héráné Kis.
From 2012 to 2018, Ferenc Balla lead the octet, and the ensemble concluded this period with an individual concert in May 2018. 
Since September 2018, the group has been led by Márton Szontagh, who has already taken an active role in the life of the octet with his arrangements.
The Weiner Cello Octet not only plays classical music, but also regularly performs film music. In March 2019, it participated with great success in the II. Regional Cello Ensemble Festival, in 2023, at the IX. Banda Ede Cello Festival received a special gold award.
In addition to professional results, the team's community-building role is also extremely important. It provides an attractive vision for the younger students and shows how far they can go with talent, perseverance, and dedication.
