Cello workshop at VCU
Cellist Bonnie Hampton, a longtime faculty member at the San Francisco Conservatory now teaching at the Juilliard School, will conduct a workshop on Feb. 21 at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond.
The workshop includes master classes for young cellists and for chamber musicians, a cello choir and technique class and a solo recital by Hampton. Participants also may purchase tickets for the Jan. 21 Richmond Symphony concert, featuring the orchestra’s principal cellist, Neal Cary, playing Boccherini’s Cello Concerto in B flat major, for the discounted price of $5.
Registration is open to cellists of all ages. Fees are $70 for participants, $40 for non-playing observers and educators. The deadline for registration is Jan. 12. Auditions to participate in master classes will be held on Jan. 24.
