Gabriella Swallow is one of the most in-demand and versatile cellists in the music industry. She plays everything from traditional classical repertoire to contemporary music, and playing with pop artists. She’s about to finish playing in the band for the acclaimed West End show Standing at the Sky’s Edge, a love letter to the city of Sheffield back dropped by the songs of Richard

I met Gabriella back in May. Gabriella has an extremely busy schedule so we were able to fit in a record in the foyer of the Linbury Theatre at the Royal Opera House, in between coming from teaching and just before she was about to play in the show that evening.

We talked about her musical background, mental health and teaching practices, collaborating with pop artists and celebrity performers such as Hugh Jackman and Rob Brydon, her special English cello which she plays in Standing at the Sky’s Edge and memorable moments on stage!
