Dermenjian

Catalina Dermenjian is an Armenian-Australian cellist, performer, and educator whose artistry bridges classical tradition, contemporary composition, and folk-infused modern expression.
Catalina's artistic approach is demonstrated through her extensive collaborations with internationally renowned composers.
Her repertoire extends from Baroque to new music, having performed in early music ensembles where she explores the unique historical voice of the baroque cello in contrast to the modern instrument.
Her versatility further expands from classical performance to the electric cello, specifically the Yamaha silent cello, which defines a warm yet bright metallic sound.
Dedicated to pedagogy alongside her performance career, Catalina guides students across Australia, fostering technical precision and musical depth. She studied extensively with leading international masters and has performed as a soloist, chamber musician, and recording artist.
Whether performing timeless classical masterworks or dynamic amplified arrangements, she curates exceptional musical experiences tailored to any stage, recording, or special event.

Music is beyond imagination, it heals the soul and fills life with various colours. Its crazy what music is capable of doing and with the Cello I am able to communicate with the world because
Music is a universal language
