Cellists for Change is a 501(c)(3) for purpose organization that empowers youth by nurturing creativity, celebrating diversity, and fostering inclusivity in music education and the arts through representation, equity in access, and meaningful community engagement.
CFC aspires to ensure that youth of all races, ethnicities, identities, religions and cultures have access to learning, creating and performing experiences. Its Youth Scholarship Program is dedicated to increasing music lesson access specifically to black and brown youth in our community.
Committed to performing works from the rich canon of repertoire written by composers historically excluded in the classical sphere, Cellists for Change further embodies a commitment to intersectionality by commissioning new works that amplify and celebrate the voices and creativity of living BIPOC, women, and LGBTQIA+ artists. We have had the privilege of working closely with Kari Clifton, Sergio Marroquin, Lee Knight and Andre O. Hoilette to premiere four new works for cello ensemble over the past three years. Please click here for more details on our recent concert highlighting three of these works.
CFC also nurtures a much-treasured friendship with Escuela de Cuerdas, a school of music in Huehuetenango, Guatemala. This relationship has allowed for valuable musical and cultural exchange between students here and students in Huehue, reaffirming our shared humanity and inspiring young musicians to make a positive impact on their global community.
Additional CFC projects/opportunities to date include:
