Cellospeak Summer Workshops
Unfortunately, due to ongoing coronavirus concerns, we have had to cancel the 2020 Summer Workshops at Bryn Mawr. All current payments are refunded. We will be creating some new online resources for our community, so stay tuned for more information!
The 2021 Workshops are TBA
Skill Builder Week
Ensemble Week
The Cello Workshops for Adults, our signature activity, consists of two one-week summer resident programs that include private lessons, technique and master classes, coached quartets, and recitals by the esteemed faculty. The first week focuses on individual skill-building while the second focuses on ensemble playing (both large and small).
Enrollment is limited for each week. Application forms are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. There are a minimum of 40 and a maximum of 64 participants at each workshop week. The ratio of faculty to participants is 1 to 4.

Cello Rentals
If you live far from Bryn Mawr, consider renting an instrument from a local shop. Cellos are delivered directly to campus and retrieved at the conclusion of the workshops. Contact the shops to reserve a cello. Refundable deposit is required.
Vendors
Every summer, Cellospeak invites vendors and luthiers to share their wares at the workshops. This makes it easy for participants to purchase music and accessories and have minor repair work performed on their instruments.
Enrollment Deadlines and Fees
Tuition includes Instruction, Room, & Board. Full payment is due by June 1st.
