The Central Cello Celebration, the second cello festival hosted by Central Washington University, provides a rare opportunity for cellists, in particular high school level players, from around the state to gather to celebrate their work, their accomplishments and the rich cello repertoire.

High school level cellists are invited to participate in the masterclasses, perform in a student recital, and join the cello choir in a performance of the Bachianas Brazileiras #1 at the final Cello Celebration Concert.

ELIGIBILITY

All ages are welcome to observe the masterclasses and attend the concerts.  All who can prepare a part of the Bachianas Brazileiras #1  are welcome to participate in the cello choir.  To participate as a performer in the masterclass sessions and recitals, students should be between 14-18 years of age.   Tuition fee is for entrance to all masterclasses, rehearsals and concerts (meals and board are not included).
