Dec
Event Cost: Free
December is the month of giving, and CelloBello is joining in that spirit with a fun countdown of gifts! We are ringing in the New Year by awarding daily prizes all throughout this last week of 2022, as well as releasing new videos for our beloved CelloBello community.
All donors who make a gift of $75 or more in the month of December are eligible to win special items including CelloBello merchandise, e-books, and even an online lesson or coaching with cellist Jeffrey Zeigler! One winner will be chosen each day at random out of the December donors pool, so the earlier you give, the more chances you have to win!
Give Today! Don’t miss out on your chance to win one of these amazing prizes! See below for the schedule of daily prizes!
Throughout the 8 days we will also be releasing brand new Lesson Videos by Paul Katz and one new Masterclass Video from the CelloBello@ series — small gifts from us to all of you!

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!
