Over 75 students currently play cellos awarded to them by Carlsen Cello Foundation. Many talented alumni have completed their education, some even moving onto major careers in performance, 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, and the Cleveland Institute of Music. The Foundation’s cellos have enriched their studies and their performances, and these recipients have, in turn, enriched the lives of others with their music.
