These students need YOUR support
The mission of the festival is to give access to talented students incredible musical opportunities. Despite their great talent, the students have limited resources in order to afford this opportunity. Every student needs substantial help toward their tuition, many need full scholarships. Tuition is $2,000.

"To be part of a unique community like this one is the best gift anyone could give me. I found
myself surrounded by people that love music and cello like I do, and who I was able to
communicate with in my native language. That was a priceless experience and I will never
forget it"
Adan Caldera, Venezuela/ Panama
"It had a very big impact on me, I had always wanted to be in a cello festival but I had never had the opportunity for financial reasons. I learned a lot from each teacher and each participant... it was a wonderful festival where my perspective shifted on many things in music and in my life. I am so thankful."
Nancy Olivares, Mexico
