Contemporary music with the 5-string cello piccolo

In an intensive collaboration over the last months Aigerim Seilova wrote the piece “Qadam”. Here is an excerpt. Qadam in Kazakh language means: step. Steps in music, steps in life. You are free to have your own associations.
I asked composers to write contemporary pieces for cello piccolo. The cello piccolo has 5 gut strings, compared to the cello there is the additional high e-string, which sounds silvery fine. It is an instrument of the baroque period and I find it very exciting to play music of our time on it! I am always looking for new listening experiences!
