Patrons
For each edition we pick one personality from the cello world, who is both a musician and a composer, and invite them to join the artistic college in order to renew our approaches and multiply the points of view.
They are present throughout the event, compose a piece for single cello that will be performed by a previous edition intern, then take part in a panel talk where they introduce their career and share their experience with the interns.
