The Susanne Beer Cello Corner Foundation

We're raising money for THE SUSANNE BEER CELLO CORNER FOUNDATION with a fundraising concert at Christ Church Highbury on December 11th, 2021. This concert will feature over 20 young talented cellists, professional cellists and cello ensembles. Many of the young students studied with Susanne and the concert is in her memory and to raise funds for the Foundation she helped create. All proceeds will go to The Susanne Beer Cello Corner Foundation, registered charity no.1195303, which supports young cellists through cello and bow loans, performance opportunities and assistance with tuition.

 

We will be playing Villa Lobos: Bachianas Brasiliaris with 8 cellos & Sena Larard (soprano); Bach: Viola da Gamba Sonata for cello trio; first movement of Elgar Concerto; Weber: Adagio and Rondo; Howard Blake: Walking in the Air; Saint-Saens: The Swan, Faure: Elegie... and more!

 

Cellists include Elizaveta Lessoun, Sam and Graham Bradshaw, Agnieszka Mika, Alice Biddulph, George Cooke, Robbie Stanley-Smith, Leo Melvin, Heather Tuach, Atticus Larard, Sonny and Jules Buether, Finn Hendra, Ophelia Robinson-Beesley, Daisy Nissen, Anna Wilson, Loxie Farr-Hall, Lotte and Daphne Shlomowitz, Johannes and Liesel May, Mei Shea, Charlotte Chew, Eloise and Beatrice Wigley, and Lukas Esly.

 

If you can't be there in person, please sponsor our performances in aid of this great cause! The Foundation also welcomes cello and bow donations. Thank you for your contribution and sponsorship!
