CelloBello + Chamber Music America

Dear CelloBello Community,

You may notice that CelloBello looks a little different right now, and that new content and updates have temporarily slowed. That’s intentional: behind the scenes, we are carefully preparing for CelloBello’s next chapter as part of Chamber Music America.

Our priority during this transition is to thoughtfully preserve the remarkable resources, knowledge, and community that CelloBello has built over the years while preparing a new home that will extend its reach and connect it to CMA’s national community of musicians, ensembles, educators, presenters, and advocates.

We’re excited about what’s ahead and look forward to sharing much more soon. Thank you for your patience as this work progresses —please continue to enjoy CelloBello and check back for updates!

Kevin Kwan Loucks
CEO, Chamber Music America
