This meeting of artists is a public teaching and learning event. Twelve musicical greats spend three weeks teaching music to students, who travel to Texas from all over the world. Anyone who listens in on the public master classes will see and hear how many ways there are to get closer to music. Each of these lessons is a wealth of truly special moments that draw us closer to the music and young musicians. Masterful artistry is displayed in the concerts given by the teachers, outstanding young musicians, Texas Cello School students, alumni and, famous artists. A cello makers’ exhibition is part of the varied supporting program with its focus on the cello.
