01 / ARTIST PROFILE

A Soulful
Cello Voice

Nada Fabiola is a cello performer whose musical expression centers on the warmth, resonance and lyrical character of the cello.

Her instrument can move naturally between classical expression, contemporary arrangements and collaborative musical environments.

Her cello becomes not only a melodic instrument, but also a source of atmosphere, emotional depth and sonic texture.

“The cello speaks in a language between intimacy and space.”

Improvisational Dialogue

06 / PERFORMANCE CONCEPT

Music
In The Rice Field

In a rural Javanese landscape, the cello and handpan can become part of the environment rather than simply being placed on a conventional stage.

The sound of the instruments interacts with the natural ambience, creating an intimate and immersive listening experience.

Handpan as rhythmic pulse
Cello as melodic voice
Nature as acoustic atmosphere
Improvisation as connection
