MaCello is a series of short stories about the life of a magical violincello, origins unknown, presumed to have been especially made for the great Maestro, revealing small aspects from the lives of the individuals who played this amazing instrument, told through the lives of people’s musicanship. The stories relate how the cello magically improved each person’s ability, or not. The MaCello stories try to put forward how one’s performance and attitude develop our successes in life.

Found in a musical shop, by a young boy and his mother (also a cello player, who had to give it up once she married), the cello helps players, who love playing and music, to access their hidden talents or enhance their latent talent, but, only if they show love to the cello and dedication to their musicianship. The stories reflect the passing of years through the twentieth century, technologically speaking, of each participant’s story, and gradually reveals how the cello interacted with their lives.

Evelyn Sanders was born in Penrith NSW, Australia, one of 12 siblings. Spent the first 10 years living in the bush. Then the family moved to the Western Suburbs of Sydney. She was not a writer. Her best effort contained information on being buried alive, which freaked out the Nuns! After school, she trained as an Infants teacher, then became a stay-at-home mother for 14 years. She learnt to play the cello and joined her husband’s group: playing for weddings, church, and conferences. Later, after years of private lessons joined the Penrith Symphony Orchestra, where she felt engulfed in the magic of playing in an orchestra. MaCello probably came from this magic music making, and hearing stories of great ‘Cellists.
