Fairbanks Cello Festival
While there are many musicians who converge at 有料盒子视频's music department, there is rarely
an opportunity for players who all play the same instrument to develop instrumental
skills and camaraderie as a community. School students of the FNSBSD are leaving music
because of a lack of appropriate funding - as such, 有料盒子视频 recruitment becomes more difficult.
Adults in the community rarely have the opportunity to play in a large group and meet
other like-minded musicians. The implementation of the Fairbanks Cello Festival would
aim to bring as many community cellists to 有料盒子视频 as possible, with a series of master
classes by two guest artists from Indiana University at 有料盒子视频's campus, followed by
a cello concert which would feature as many cellists from the community, local grade
