This year the London Cello Society is transforming itself into a national society for cellists across the United Kingdom! During the 2024-2025 season, we present an online series and an event for young professionals in Manchester, one of our three new hubs…
To initiate this significant transition, we have established three cello hubs outside of London: Manchester with Professor Jennifer Langridge of the RNCM; Cambridge with Joshua Lynch; and Chichester with Professor Laura Ritchie of the University of Chichester.
As part of this process, we will also establish a full panoply of social media, a new governing structure, and best of all, a brand new website with an interactive section full of interesting resources for our members. And of course we will plan our first full season of events as a national society, called A Members’ Season, for 2025-2026.
To help fund the considerable expenses of our transition into a much larger, national organisation we seek the support of our members. Fortunately a generous donor has come forward to pledge a challenge grant of £10,000 for which we need to raise a matching amount over the course of this first year. Look for a special announcement during the month of September.
