CelloBello’s comprehensive repertoire database is an essential resource for cellists of all levels.
It not only lists common core cello repertoire, but it also contains several curated databases that feature works by underrepresented voices. These curated databases include the Sphinx Catalog of Latin American Cello Works, Works by Women Composers, Works by Black Composers, and 21st Century Cello Works. These curated databases were independently created by several dedicated musicians with passions for research and advocacy, and they continue to be enriched by composers, players, and publishers.
We hope this robust tool will empower cellists to discover new works and deepen their connection to the richness of the cello repertoire, and we are grateful for the collective generosity that has allowed us to provide this resource to a global audience.

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!
