About

Welcome to the Cello Retreat, where cellists discover the full expressive range of their instrument through intensive workshops designed to elevate both musicality and technique.

At the heart of our program, participants dive into ensemble playing—forming cello choirs and chamber groups that explore repertoire spanning centuries, from Buxtehude to Bach, Sibelius to Herbie Hancock. Daily activities include focused technique classes, improvisation and music theory sessions, and masterclasses featuring solo repertoire.

We offer two distinct programs: Cello Chill, a fall retreat designed primarily for adults, and Cello Retreat, our summer intensive for teenagers. Both programs welcome intermediate to advanced cellists and are led by Juilliard graduate and concert cellist Grace Anderson, alongside distinguished guest instructors.
