Roger Morelló Ros (b. Catalonia 1993) is a committed, expressive, and highly imaginative cellist with a remarkable ability to connect with his audience, serving as a communicative bridge between creator, creation, and listener. He creates performances that convey passion, authenticity, and spontaneity, captivating both audiences and organizers in prestigious venues such as the Philharmonie Berlin, the Suzhou Bay Grand Theater in China, Palau de la Música Catalana or Casa Milà (Gaudí’s building in Barcelona), where he was an Artist in Residence during the 2018/19 season.
Winner of more than 30 grants and prizes in competitions, Morelló’s solo career has led to collaborations with numerous orchestras – most notably the Brussels Philharmonic Orchestra, and has been invited to important festivals such as Verbier Festival, Klavier-Festival Ruhr, Rheinhessen Musikfestival (Artist in Residence 2024) or the Schumannfest Düsseldorf, to name just a few.
He recently released the album The Voice of Casals in homage to Pau Casals, a careful and precise work, brimming with life and emotion — a delicate balance that Morelló masterfully achieves in both his recordings and performances, as highlighted by critics. Additionally, he has released Schumann goes Tango (Austrian Gramophone, 2022), and Founders Trio (Hänssler Classic, 2024) which premiered in Florida.
He studied with David Blay and Damian Martínez in Spain, before moving to Germany to pursue a Master’s and a Soloist-Diploma with Maria Kliegel at the University of Music in Cologne, graduating with honors and with the financial support of the Humboldt Foundation, Deutschlandstipendium, and the Güell Scholarship.
