Georgia Marker is a solo cellist based in Leeds, available for gigs across the UK. Playing a range of folk tunes, jazz, and popular, well-known classical repertoire, sets can be adapted for both a classy, relaxed atmosphere, and for an upbeat, lively crowd. Open to working with you to create a tailor-made set that is just right for your event
A few existing sets:
Classically trained, Georgia Marker is a cellist who originally cut her teeth orchestrally, including her tenure as Chair of the University of Cambridge Philharmonic Orchestra. Now mainly rooted in folk, having played for the likes of Lilian, Here’s the Steeple, and Zawedde, she brings a warm, expressive tone to her playing.
Beyond folk, Georgia’s function work highlights the adaptability of the cello to a number of spaces and genres, from jazz to classical to pop, pubs and restaurants to food halls and even the street. She plays in the band for Molly Rymer, and, recently, Georgia has played in a string quartet for Leodis Consort Singers.

Very happy to play pre-playlisted music before and between my sets
I've been playing cello since I was a child and, after years in the music industry working solo, I've got lots of gig experience under my belt.
I typically arrive 1hr - 2hr prior to the event to set up. A typical performance would entail 2-3 45 min sets
I am happy to perform outside with set conditions (please contact me!)
I am very happy to learn specific repertoire for the event, although this will be limited by the music I am able to obtain and perform, and would be a maximum of 5 specific new tracks. Typically I would choose a set list that I feel fits the event best, but clients are also very welcome to choose the set list from my repertoire, should they desire!
