The 2012 Cellobration Festival is an exciting opportunity for young cellists to explore different aspects of cello technique and performance in a fun and friendly environment. The festival is open to intermediate and advanced cellists between the ages of 8-18.

 
Summer Session I: Each day we will explore a different aspect of cello playing, such as “The Great Cellists”, “Thumb Position/Mapping the Cello” or “Mastering Rhythm” all taught by enthusiastic and experienced instructors. Master-classes will provide a unique opportunity for students to analyze their performances and build on aspects of stage presence, performance, ensemble technique, and projection. Students perform in a solo recital and with an all-cello ensemble!!

Extension Session II: This session offers students a chance to dabble in the art of composition, improvisation and get creative with their cellos! Classes will focus on basic music theory, composition, and ensemble playing. We will explore music by modern, jazz and popular composers. The students will work together to create an original work to be performed at their culminating recital on June 24th.
