I am pleased to inform that the City of Casalmaggiore, in Northern Italy, organizes a one-week workshop dedicated to cellists only, from Monday, September 3rd to Friday, September 7th, 2007. It will be directed by Maestro Rudolf Weinsheimer, formerly cellist of the Berliner Philharmoniker and founder of the most famous cello orchestra in the world: Die 12 Cellisten der Berliner Philharmoniker.
The workshop is addressed to cellists of any experience: pros, students and amateurs, and it aims to prepare and perform the biggest cello concert ever played in Italy, which will be performed twice, in Casalmaggiore and in Cremona.

The tuition fee is euro 100 (euro 60 for those born in 1982 or later) and the deadline for applications is April 6th, 2007.
