Info for Live at Cello Biënnale Amsterdam

Nesrine is a very versatile singer and cellist. In keeping with the current zeitgeist, she combines influences from pop, rock, minimalism, and North African music. Originally trained as a classical cellist, she played in Daniel Barenboim's East Western Divan Orchestra and in the Orquestra de la Comunitat Valenciana conducted by Lorin Maazel. However, started making increasingly frequent trips to other musical worlds. Nesrine can be described as a cultural allegory between East and West. She sings poetic lyrics in Arabic, English, and French. In 2018 her album Ahlam was released, which was received very enthusiastically by the international media. She has toured all over Europe and played in venues such as the Berliner Philharmonie, and made her debut at the Cello Biennale during the very first edition of CELLOFEST.

Nesrine
In 2018, as if out of nowhere, the previously unknown trio NES around the Franco-Algerian singer, cellist and songwriter Nesrine amazed the European music world across genre boundaries.

Her second album, simply titled “Nesrine”, is nothing less than a reinvention of the namesake.

Nesrine's debut album "Ahlam" received enthusiastic reactions with its sheer beauty, the unusual line-up of voice, cello and percussion and a musical unification of the Mediterranean region from North Africa to Southern Europe.

Cello colleague Sol Gabetta called Nesrine “a wonderful singer and cellist” and The London Times “a shining, multilingual talent”. The French producer and radio man André Manoukian enthused “NES lets us hear the beauty of the world” and Deutschlandfunk summed it up: “The time for NES has come.”

Several extensive tours throughout Europe followed and NES thrilled their audiences in classic venues such as the Berlin Philharmonic, the Konzerthaus Berlin, or the Amsterdam Cello Biennale as well as at major jazz and world music festivals.

This album contains no booklet.
