Calling All Cellists
The Cello Festival of Southern Utah will be held on September 15-16, 2023 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. This year we are glad to have Horacio Contreras (University of North Texas) and Dr. Theodore Buchholz (University of Arizona) as the Festival’s featured artist and clinicians. The festival events include large cello ensemble sessions and guest-artist and faculty performances, chamber music, cello master classes, the ASTA Cello Lecture Series, and other workshop and performance opportunities.
Register online now! 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 pizza lunch. Free registration for ASTA members and full-time Utah Tech students. Email Dr. Yu at ka-wai.yu@utahtech.edu for any questions or further information.
