Cello

Studio Lucas Fels & Mariel Roberts

Two-week instrumental studio with selection process

Tutors: Lucas Fels, Mariel Roberts

Course fee: 450€ (+15€ system and booking fees)

WAITING LIST
Application deadline for the studio was 28 February 2023 and currently all places are taken. However, it can always happen that someone has to cancel at short notice. We ask interested cellists to send us their application documents (see below) and we will contact you if a spot becomes available.

In the cello interpretation studio, Lucas Fels will give individual lessons (if time permits: daily), in which other colleagues should also participate as listeners.
During the course, all participants of the cello studio will work on a solo piece, present it in workshop sessions in front of the group and put it up for discussion.

All cellists will choose their own repertoire to be taught and discussed. New pieces (from 1990) should predominate in the selection. If possible, a work by a composition teacher of the Darmstadt Summer Course should be included. Works that are not yet finished but still in the process of creation are especially welcome.

In the second week the cello studio will take part in a project that focuses on Luciano Berio’s outstanding cycle for different solo instruments, Sequenze. This project is lead by musicologist, leader of Centro Studi Luciano Berio and member of the Scholarly Staff of the Paul Sacher Stiftung, Angela Ida De Benedictis. Preparing the Sequenza XIV for cello is not obligatory, but very welcome.

For one week, the U.S. based cellist Mariel Roberts will complement the work of the cello studio with her own profile and projects. Details will follow shortly.
