The Cello Retreat

The Cello Retreat provides a unique opportunity for young beginners and seasoned players to refine their technique and endurance. The programme ranges from the first twinkle concert to senior performances, creating a rich experience. Participants form close bonds in group sessions and support each other in concerts, while seniors follow a schedule reminiscent of an athletics boot camp – intense yet infused with humour and kindness.

The Cello Retreat has a wonderful line-up of experienced Suzuki tutors who will be taking large group repertoire and small group technique classes. Other classes include daily tonalisation, Cello choir, musical enrichment, daily concerts.

See you there!
