Octocello

Following two sell-out concerts in Thame, the eight-cello local group Octocello is once again bringing the unique rich sound of multiple cellos to a concert on September 20th at 7:30 pm in St. Mary’s Church, Thame. The local group will be playing something for everyone, including arrangements of hits by Henry Mancini, Frank Loesser and S Club 7, together with classical favourites by Berlioz, Gilbert & Sullivan and Mendelssohn. Octocello will be joined by Winchendon Brass, a local brass quintet with a similarly wide-ranging repertoire.

Formed in 2020, Octocello came together after a rash promise in a doctor’s surgery! Since then, the group has given 4 concerts, all to capacity audiences, and have raised over £5,000 for MIND and Thames Valley Air Ambulance.

All proceeds from the 2025 concert will go to Mission Ukraine, a charity that delivers much-needed aid to the war-torn country (https://www.missionukraine.uk/)
