Cellospeak - for 2020 is in its 20th year with approximately 100 adult amateur cellists from 25 states.
Founded by Dorothy Amarandos and under the artistic direction of Bomin Collins, Cellospeak offers two distinctly different workshops for adult amateurs, with a brilliant faculty (1 to 4 ratio), this year at Bryn Mawr College in Bryn Mawr, PA. |
|
The first week is called "The Skill Builder" (from July 19th to July 25th) and offers technique classes specifically designed for the levels of advancement, 6 half hour private lessons, group choirs and evening recitals by both faculty and participants. The second week is for "Ensemble Training" (July 26th to August 1st) and includes technical training, coached quartets, and a 4 part cello choir which will perform a final concert in the Great Hall. Our mission is to provide opportunities for inspiring and enriching cello instruction for all adults for all experience levels and from all professions, backgrounds, and stages of life to come together in the Cellospeak programs to share a love of music and the cello.
