Elisa Siber was born in Vienna in 1983. She is a subtle and spirited cellist with a strong differentiated expressiveness.

engagements with renowned orchestras such as the Basel Chamber Orchestra, the Balthasar Neumann Ensemble, the Bremen Chamber Philharmonic and
of the Kammerphilharmonie Graubünden (as deputy principal cellist) have been part of her international musical activity for many years, which she lives out both on the modern cello and on the baroque cello.

Her chamber music partners include Daniele Caminiti, Helena Winkelmann, Viviane Chassot, Manuel Oswald, Lea Boesch, Shahane Zurabova, Fabian Cardozo, Julia Schröder, Dominic Chamot, Joel Bardolet, Anton Kernjak, Antonio Vinuales and Pablo Barragan.
She has celebrated solo successes, for example, with the interpretation of Antonín Dvořák's Cello Concerto under the baton of Martin Sieghart in the Stefaniensaal in Graz and with the performance of Friedrich Gulda's Cello Concerto at the Stadtcasino Basel.
Elisa Siber lives and works in Basel.

Leona Siber was born in Vienna in 1989. She studied clarinet (B.A.) and conducting (M.A.) in Vienna, Bratislava, Eisenstadt and Linz. She is currently supplementing her education with a degree in piano pedagogy with Till Alexander Körber at the Anton Bruckner Private University. She lives and works in Linz.

Her special affinity for the human voice as well as the joy of working with
Amateurs enter into a particularly happy union in their work as choir directors.
In all her activities, Leona Siber also sees herself as a music educator. This aspect is just as central as a pianist, piano teacher and choir director as it is as a moderator of concerts.
Leona Siber is extremely interested in new concert formats and interdisciplinary artistic projects.
