Calling All Cellists

The Cello Festival of Southern Utah will be held on September 13-14, 2024 in Utah Tech University’s Eccles Fine Arts Center.  Dedicated to promoting the learning, enjoyment, and community-involvement in cello playing, the two-day Festival will offer a lots of wonderful opportunities for cellists of all ages and all levels.

The $50 registration ($45 before July 15!) includes access to every performance, workshop and event in the festival, a free Festival T-shirt, as well as a complimentary lunch (shirt and lunch not provided if registering after Sept 10).
