Simone’s cello work remains diverse; she can be found playing cello with jazz quartets, chamber ensembles, in music videos, live rock concerts, and special events.

Simone Vitucci playing the first movement (Preludio Fantasia) of the Suite for Solo Cello by Gaspar Cassadó (c.1925). Recording by Adam Michalak. Video by Nic Capelle.
