37th Annual National Cello Institute

We don't always remember how lucky we are to live in this little town. Every summer at the end of June, cellists from around the country and even from out of the US make a pilgrimage to Claremont to attend the National Cello Institute. It's fun to see all those cases on wheels and on backs, from the littlest kids to the adults. Friday night is the showcase concert with different ensembles performing and ending with the cello orchestra. If you go to youtube and enter National Cello Institute, you can see videos from years past from this annual concert.
