biography:
“Jeg lette etter en som kunne forstå musikken, holde den og fremføre den lidenskapelig. Jeg kom over Sophia Cabo og fant presis det jeg ønsket. En fantastisk dyktig cellist som setter seg inn i prosjekter med en genuinitet og erfaring som løfter det hele. “ - Sei Selina
“Hvordan er det i det hele tatt mulig å trylle frem slik musikk og så variert lydbilde fra fire musikere, det lød som et helt symfoniorkester. Og så få frem alle valører i strengene fra det skjøre til det mektige, fra det seriøse til det lekne.”- Sigbjørn Larsen, RHA (Holmsbu Kunstkonserter)
