Welcome to the Cellísimo Festival!
In 2021, I started this festival with the goal of supporting Latin American cellists who dedicate themselves to their cellos daily and want access to unique musical experiences. I wanted to offer a unique festival full of inspiration, individual attention, a focus on mental health, and to create a beautiful and supportive community. And we succeeded! Each edition has been truly special.
It has been very special for me to see the impact this festival has had on the participants. And especially, it has been incredible to meet several participants in person over the past few years during my travels. This community we have created is unique.
I invite you to join the Cellisimo Facebook group that I created to see all the masterclasses this summer!
