These three cellists share an exciting vision for the Cello – to revisit and re-position an instrument that is often overlooked.  The result is an act that leads the way in the electric string genre.

This all-female electric cello trio released their first self- titled 6 track EP in April 2017 (available on Itunes and at www.rosanthorn.bandcamp.com)  Their album launch parties in Plett, Cape Town and Somerset West in 2017 were and instant success and tickets have been sold-out for all their public events to date.

Rosanthorn have set out a compositional and technical journey to explore all that the Cello has to offer across multiple genres and timbres, with the help of South Africa’s top composers and producers. Their repertoire includes recordings and re-interpretations of works as varied as Vivaldi’s Double Concerto in G Minor, Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah, and Imogen Heap’s Hide and Seek. Anjulie Nock has composed new works such as Night Journey (with a stirring Game of Thrones feel) and an original Tango (think Scent of a Woman for Cello). The Parting, by Helmut Meijer, is  a reflective, stripped-down, soulful composition which inspired their first music video.

Says Producer and Composer Helmut Meijer, ‘The sound of the 3 cello’s together is exquisite. This project is musically satisfying and a pleasure to record – I predict that Rosanthorn is going to be the talk of the town’

Couldn't be better! They were fabulous last year so i cancelled my commitment to see them again. Loved the new compositions, especially Night Journey; and the pentatonic variations brought tears to my eyes. They seem surprised that we clapped at the right times in the Sad/Happy Dance encore - but they taught us that last year... They're Just so fantastic - each of them!

Excellent as per usual!

I was absolutely overwhelmed by the ladies and their music! Amazing artists!!! I can’t WAIT for their next performance! It was such an intimate show in your theatre, truly intense and emotional! Loved every moment!

They were absolutely amazing!!!

My first time to the Drama Factory. What a nice theatre. Will definitely check regularly what you offer, and it is on my doorstep (Somerset West).

Let's start by saying that my wife and I enjoyed the show and we enjoyed being there and would have been sorry if we had missed it. But the choice of numbers could have been more interesting and varied. Two more cheerful numbers, particularly the closing one would have made it, in our opinion, a better show.
