Description: Cellists for Change empowers youth through music. They work to achieve their mission through three programs: Local Youth Scholarships (providing comprehensive music instruction to youth who identify with historically underrepresented or excluded groups in classical music). Music Transcends Boarders (nurturing international collaborative partnership with Escuela de Cuerdas, a school of music and artistic cultural center in the Western Highlands of Guatemala). Growing Cello Repertoire (supporting the commission and youth premieres of new pieces that amplify the voices of Composers of Color, women and LGBTQIA+ artists). Based in Boulder, CO, they take a world view for their impacts.
