“Benedict Klöckner, the cello magician.”

“Benedict Klöckner, soloist on the cello, convinces with world-class level.

He’s a young rock god, just with the cello … you are completely drawn into the spell of the soloist. He pulls the audience into an insane vortex that cannot be tamed … Benedict Klöckner enchanted the audience with his cello magic. “

– Rheinpfalz, 26/10/2020
