October - Boulder Cello Project Play-in

Saturday, October 18, 2014
2:00 PM to 4:30 PM
This location is shown only to members
***PLEASE NOTE THE VENUE CHANGE***

Join us in a relaxed environment to play some cello ensemble music together. We'll have a good mixture of beginners to advanced cellists.

1:30 PM - 2:00 PM Food, Drinks & Social. For members who would like to eat some snacks and meet other members, or warm up, before playing. This is not required. Members can simply show up at the scheduled play-in time.

2:00 PM - 4:30 PM Cello Choir. Time is flexible and you may stay longer or leave earlier depending on your schedule. We will take a break midway through the play-in, and members are free to leave during break time if you have other commitments and cannot stay for the entire 2 hour play-in.

This meeting will be for all levels, whether advanced or playing in a group for the first time, and will be led by an experienced cello teacher. We will work on playing and practicing together, dynamics and speed, and having fun!

Moderator: MARCELO SANCHES

  Yep, me too. I paid my 2014 dues but didn't get the e-mail with the password.

  I'll ask Gemma, but I'm guessing only the Organizer sees the dues-paying and previously sent that by hand. I'll send you what I sent Nancy too.

Well, I've managed to tear my right rotator cuff. Bowing is not an option. I'm really disappointed, but it looks like I'm going to have to bow out for the rest of the year.

Dear BCP cellists. I'm sorry but October 25th is the date of my first symphony concert with the Broomfield Symphony. The music is challenging and I know that it would be difficult to do anything else that day except get ready to the play the concert. Is there any chance the meetups can be held on week nights rather than always on weekends? Here's the BSO web site for future concerts you might be interested in:

Adult cello players looking to meet like-minded adult (18 or older) cellists to play cello music together (e.g. cello choir, ensemble music, etc.) and to learn more about technique, musicality and group playing. The idea is to create a fun, non-competitive group for cellists to meet, play (practice), learn and perform cello ensemble music together. We believe there are a lot of folks out there who would appreciate having a place to meet like minded folks, and play fun music in a supportive environment.

No audition required to join - we just want friendly folks who want to play with other cellists! Abilities can range from beginners (can read music) to more advanced players who are willing to help your fellow community of cellists grow! :)

We will have local cello teachers volunteer their time to facilitate some of our play-ins to ensure that we continue to grow, learn and have fun! Commitment is valued over virtuosity.

Annual Membership Fee $35.00

There has been concern with ensuring that the project can be sustained long term, so members can continue to enjoy play-ins. Therefore, we have recently implemented an Annual Membership Fee of $35.00. Membership fees will be used towards operating costs such as website fees, printing, supplies, food, etc.
