The Carlsen Cello Foundation
Foundation Recipients
Over the past 10 years, the Carlsen Cello Foundation has made fine instruments available to a number of young musicians. These talented individuals have completed their education or are currently studying at some of the top music schools in the country including the Curtis Institute of Music, the New England Conservatory of Music, the Julliard School, Indiana University, the Cleveland Institute of Music, and the University of Michigan.
"It was a tremendous learning experience to play on the Carlsen Foundation cello while I was at CIM. I felt great excitement and joy, producing sounds that, on my old cello, had been beyond my reach. What an important opportunity to give to as many deserving cello students as possible."
