Masterclass 2025

NEW THIS YEAR! The 2025 Colorado Cello Summit Masterclass is now open to cellists of all levels!  Whether you are planning a career in music or are an adult beginner, we want you to have the opportunity to participate in this transformative experience. If you are interested in the opportunity to perform in the masterclass and get feedback from this year's Masterclass clinician, Dr. Erik Anderson, Professor of Cello and Bass at Minot State University, please apply below.  

Why apply to play in the masterclass?

A music masterclass is an opportunity to perform a well-practiced piece for a guest teacher and receive feedback from their viewpoint, likely a different perspective than that of your regular teacher. Warning: Breakthroughs can occur!

  • Selected participants must be registered to attend the Colorado Cello Summit to be eligible to perform.

  • All Applications must be received on or before February 1, 2025
