CelloDay 2023 // Observers

The London Cello Society and Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance present CelloDay 2022, an opportunity for young cellists to come together for a memorable day of music-making with some of the UK’s best cello teachers.  Join us to learn new cello techniques and tricks, and for the experience of sharing music with your cello friends here at home
