The Carlsen Cello Foundation

Applying for a Cello

Our mission is to to make fine cellos available to deserving students. The cellos loaned by the foundation retail from 5,000 to 20,000 dollars. We are aware of the costs of musical training. If you have talent, more than average drive, and financial inability to puchase a quality instrument, we encourage you to complete an application.
OUR EXPECTATIONS: You must play a full size cello, have a private teacher and have not completed your education. Your age will probably be 12 to 20 years but there may be special circumstances.
There is an application fee of $20 and, should you be selected, a placement fee of $100. Please send your completed application to:
