The Cello Museum Weekly Newsletter

Volume II | Number 36 | 4 September 2021

Greetings, cello friends!

Here's a summary of what you will find in this newsletter - the links in this section will take you straight to that part of the email:

We open September with our Curator's Corner and still have our roundup of
weekly news and online concerts and events.


Get a sneak preview of our limited edition celebratory Cello Museum birthday shirts available soon from our Museum Shop.

Inspired by Yo-Yo Ma, artist Nathan Sawaya created his first cello out of approximately 7,000 standard LEGO bricks over the course of a few days in 2009. To see how he dealt with the rather unique challenges, tour our current exhibition, Innovations in Cello-Making Materials.

Our Cello Birthdays series continues, celebrating cellists, composers, luthiers, and others with strong ties to the cello world.

Dr. Leonovich has been extremely busy with a new Servais edition and continuing his Popper research this week.

Finally, please be sure to check the first September note from our curator, Dr. Brenda Neece - she has an important question for you, our readers.

Thank you for reading -- enjoy this week's content!
