Mission Statement:

 Founded in 2010, The International Cello Institute (ICI) provides an inclusive and nurturing environment for cellists to grow and learn. Cellists are exposed to outstanding teaching, performing, and mentoring by experienced faculty. Our program strives to serve students and communities from a variety of socio-economic, racial/ethnic, gender identities, ages, and musical backgrounds.

A Snapshot into ICI

  • Individual lessons will be scheduled throughout the three weeks of the program. All accepted participants will receive at least 6 lessons during their three weeks at ICI.

  • Every student will have multiple performance opportunities during masterclasses (in-person and online) with world-renowned cellists and pedagogues.

  • Workshops will be offered to cellists on technique, score reading, etude study, the art of practicing, and efficient management of time. All workshop facilitators will encourage student participation and involvement.

  • Guest artists and speakers, along with core faculty, will deliver presentations on a range of topics.

  • It is important to us that our students develop tools to connect with community members. In the planning of community outreach events, we guide students through public speaking techniques and how to address audiences.
