Kristin Rule, alias 'The Unconventional Cellist'
info@theunconventionalcellist.com
PO Box 43, Clunes VIC, AUSTRALIA 3370
+61 422 783 980
ARTIST, Petrus Spronk, had this to say about Kristin's recent performance of original compositions from her new album,'The Knife that Cuts a Tear'
"I was much moved by your inspiring performance. Magic was being made, in front of my eyes and ears. I felt that you have moved it into the realm of art. The intensity with which you were able to play took the audience out of their everyday existence, and momentarily exalted their spirits. The true test of your playing."
Petrus Spronk is one of Australia's finest Ceramicists and Sculptors with works represented at many renowned public, corporate and private collections nationally and internationally.
Some of the hundreds of comments from her 'Australia Council for the Arts' funded tour in 2008 (before the transition from motorcycle to bicycle) include;
“Creatively brilliant, imaginative and wonderfully talented: blown away.”
Philip, Mallacoota VIC
“Outstanding performance - thank you so much - totally enthralling!”
Maree, Kyogle NSW
“That (music) filled me with warmth, inspiration & motivation. Thank you” Annie, Coolum Beach QLD
“Hauntingly and emotionally beautiful”
Lyndall, Maryborough QLD
"Thank-you for your marvellous appearance in Cardross on Saturday 11th October. Your performance reduced me to tears. Cardross has never heard the beauty of either the Cello or the Viola before. The audience was mesmerised. All day and through-out this week members of the community have been singing your praises to me.It was a huge day for you with four performances so thank-you for taking the time to bring your beautiful music to this new audience. I can assure your sponsor The Australia Council that Kristin Rule is indeed taking her Music to the farthest flung reaches of Australia, to towns no Cellist has visited before. And her audiences are in raptures. Thank-you also for the workshops you conducted for the Mildura String Ensemble. The students were amazed and inspired by you skills and your enthusiasm for music. They loved it and would love the chance to play with you again. Good Luck with the rest of your tour."
