About
Cupid’s Bow is a cello duo that provides entertainment of distinction, adding sophistication and elegance to any event. Two beautiful ladies with gorgeous instruments playing rich, sonorous music. Cupid's Bow not only sound the part, but look the part: where possible they will dress according to the colour scheme/dress code of your event.
Classically trained musicians Adrianne Wininsky and Margit van der Zwan have travelled the world with their cellos. Between them they have clocked up an impressive amount of experience, performing professionally with orchestras, theatres and bands, at festivals around the globe, on television and radio and in concert as soloists.
They have worked with Take That, Snow Patrol, Elbow, I Am Kloot and Eliza Carthy, making regular TV appearances on the likes of Top of the Pops, Jools Holland, The X Factor and the Michael Parkinson Show (to namedrop just a few!). Listen closely, and you will hear the duo playing on Elbow's latest album, "Build A Rocket Boys!".
From sing-along, clap-along, and Irish jigs to dance-along, Cupid's Bow aims to provide exactly the right atmosphere for your special event.
Be surprised and delighted at what’s possible with the wonderful sound of two cellos!
Also the duo can arrange a lot of our own music, and are happy to make arrangements of special requests if it’s not in our repertoire. For more obscure or rare requests there may be a fee.
Where are they based?
Based in Manchester, Cupid's Bow performs regularly throughout the UK and mainland Europe.
