Become a Friend!

Without your help, it simply wouldn’t be possible to stage this wonderful ten-day cello festival, organise the National Cello Competition, provide opportunities to talented young cellists or put together our educational programme, Hello Cello.

The more Friends we make, the solider the foundation underpinning the festival becomes.

Become a Friend and enjoy all our Friend benefits.
