Cellomania

Cellomania is a duo of two cellists, Jaani Helander and Lukas Stasevskij, and gave its first official public performance on Helsinki’s Allas Sea Pool stage in 2020. Their debut album, Mania Unleashed, was released on streaming platforms in autumn 2021. The album consists of pop and rock covers, game and film music, and Helander’s first composition, Nocturne. Cellomania opened the prize ceremony of the Nordic Council of Ministers at the Helsinki Music Centre in November 2022 with Helander’s Festive Anthem, in a performance televised in all the Nordic countries. Cellomania is releasing a new single, Towards the New Horizon, on April 28, 2023 on streaming platforms. Composed by Jaani Helander, the single is a creative synthesis of cello and electronic rhythm, and it’s a collaboration with Ginette-inventor Petteri Mäkiniemi and electro artist Ahva.
