Cello Daze

So excited for Cello Days this Saturday March 29th at Voxman Music Building.

Due to an injury, Brinton Smith had to cancel his visit but we are very lucky to have Steven Doane from Eastman School of Music to be here in his place.

Ben Sollee will also be here and it should be a fantastic and inspiring day.

See you all on Saturday!

To all my cellist friends! I am sorry to write that this fall there will be no Cello Daze.

Due to COVID-19 I felt it best to not try and plan the event but to take the year off to let life see if it can return to something close to normal where we can all be on stage together and play beautiful cello choir music together. I will be sorry to not have Cello Daze for the first time since 2002 but please know...

We will be back!!!!

Take care and stay healthy everyone!!
