Welcome to the official website of cellist Pamela Smits.

We hope that there will be things for you to enjoy
and that you want to explore the different areas of the site.

"Pamela Smits not only has great command of the cello, but also possesses the rare and unique gift of true communication through her instrument."
          --Chauncey Patterson, former violist of the Miami String Quartet

"Even the sun has spots."
          --György Sebök

Known for her impassioned musicianship and expressive range, it is her distinctive musical presence and charisma that sets her apart.

Wanting to stay true to her musical soul early on in life, entering and winning but a few competitions -not being a huge fan of them-, she is setting her own mark in the music world, not following the common paths, but cutting out her own path.

"Competition is for horses, not artists."
            -- Béla Bartók
