About me
Hi! I'm Mo. I've been playing the cello professionally for 34 years in the beautiful state of Vermont. I've had the wonderful opportunity to play for hundreds of weddings and I just recently relocated to the Tampa area. I'm excited to play for your wedding or event!

Reviews
If you are looking for an exceptional, professional cellist, Monique is definitely your best choice. She has played at weddings and anniversaries for us, she touched our hearts with her music for a very special friends' passing, and in so many concerts. Not only does she bring her beautiful music but she brings her bubble personality which will make your event a joy. ~Susan Lloyd
I'm a huge fan of the cello and a bigger fan of Monique!! I've heard Mo play at multiple events and every time it is amazing!! Monique's cell playing is so versatile and her personality is off he charts!! She's not only a great cello player but an incredible funny and talented person. ~Karen Smith
Monique played cello for several years with The Grand Isle Country Chorus in South Hero, Vermont. She was the only instrumentalist, aside from the accompanist, and created her own arrangements to accompany the chorus, which was 50+ singers strong. She is gifted, funny and dedicated. We are sad that she moved away. ~Mary Jane W.
Very talented cellist. I have seen Mo perform at many different venues (rocking it out with Gregory Douglass, performing soft relaxing music at many weddings and playing in the lobby of our local hospital.) Each time I see her play, I'm in awe. Her music is always beautiful, yet it seems seamless to her. Very talented indeed! ~Kim Norton
We were so very blessed to have Mo play for our wedding after hearing many of her performances. She had great suggestions to songs I would not have thought of and she made our day absolutely perfect with her beautiful music! I would recommend her to everyone! She is amazing! ~Laurie Dewyea
A true professional in every way. Monique's skills are outstanding. She makes every event she plays better. I am proud to recommend Monique Citro.
~Bill Lloyd
We had the pleasure of having Mo play at our wedding ceremony. Her music set the tone for a beautiful day. We could not recommend her any more than we do.
~Sher Tsai
Incredibly talented musician with a great repertoire of songs. As an added bonus, she's also a truly exceptional human, passing her gifts to the next generation of cellists. You won't be disappointed! ~Susan Unruh
Top notch. First rate. Citro is a consummate professional whose talent is apparent in every note. You can't afford NOT to hire her. ~J Whitney
I have played with a few singer songwriters over the last 15 years.
Here are three of my favorite videos with Edie Carey, Gregory Douglass and Lisa Piccirillo Barbiero.
I look forward to working with you!
