“…then came VC2 Cello Duo (Amahl Arulanandam and Bryan Holt) playing ‘Triumvirate’ written for them by Raphael Weinroth-Browne. This is a 9-minute piece apparently based on Beethoven’s G minor and it was busy, exciting with intricate rather Eastern sounding melodies with seamless swaps of lead, & support between the instruments. It demonstrated the instrument plus its capabilities that was expertly played. It was the stand-out piece of the day. Earning a well-deserved standing ovation.”

“…Despite the purely classical repertoire, the young pair gave off a modern, streetwise energy, playing from sleek iPads, instead of paper scores, like a couple of badasses.”
– Ottawa Citizen
“… Earlier, the cello duo VC2 flabbergasted (yes, that still happens to people) the audience with stunning work and some Guns N’ Roses and Foo Fighters in the mix of tunes they played. One piece written by Matt Brubeck, who teaches at York University and Humber College (last name should ring some bells), distributed phrases and melody lines between the players, Amahl Arulanandam and Bryan Holt. That might seem easy to do with Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star, but on a piece based on a tiny riff from Beethoven, at a brisk tempo, written by a Brubeck — well, you had to see and hear it.”
