Since 2003, the Extreme Cellists have taken musical performances to new heights, and depths, by giving performances in numerous extreme locations. Many of these have been part of challenges to raise money for charities.

We’ve undertaken many significant challenges, during which we’ve raised over £55,000 for good causes. In between we often do other smaller events too - some of which you can read about in our blog.
