Boston Cello Quartet Tickets

The Boston Cello Quartet, formed in 2010 by four Boston Symphony Orchestra cellists, redefines what a string quartet can be. Debuting at Tanglewood's Ozawa Hall, they’ve built a reputation for cross-genre medleys, theatrical yet intimate performances, and collaborations that expand the reach of chamber music. Their work blends classical masterworks with pop, jazz, and world music, proudly attracting listeners who might not typically attend a traditional concert.

Based in the Boston area, they perform widely in community spaces, concert halls, and special events, including notable appearances at Tanglewood with the Boston Pops, and a variety of projects with Yo-Yo Ma’s network. This page provides an in-depth look at their biography, discography highlights, and upcoming tour info.

Biographically, the quartet began with Blaise Dejardin, Adam Esbensen, Mihail Jojatu, and Alexandre Lecarme, all BSO cellists who brought together a shared passion for accessible, entertaining chamber music. Their debut album Pictures (2013) mixed classical pieces with original arrangements and received extensive local coverage. Their second album, The Latin Project (2016), showcased Latin/world repertoire and featured the world premiere of Paul Desenne’s Bossa do Fim.

In addition to studio work, the ensemble has recorded soundtracks (notably for the video game Of Orcs and Men, 2012) and collaborated with Yo-Yo Ma on various projects via GroupMUSE for live bookings. They are frequently described as a novel, FUN-ORIENTED classical string quartet, with a repertoire spanning Bach, Dvorak, Piazzolla, Chick Corea, and beyond. Their performances are characterized by cross-genre medleys—think James Bond themes interwoven with classical and jazz elements—so audiences experience chamber music in a fresh, engaging way.

For those planning a concert experience in the Boston area, or seeking a unique musical program for a community or school event, the Boston Cello Quartet offers a versatile and approachable option. Their social media presence includes a YouTube channel, BostonCelloQuartet, and a GroupMUSE profile for live bookings.
