As a cellist at UAF, students have opportunities to join the vibrant cello community
in Alaska at any level of their development. Students who are either looking to begin
their cello studies or who enjoy small ensemble playing can enroll in Class Lessons,
while those with more experience may take Private Lessons, in which students study
the cello through specific techniques and repertoire. All UAF cellists may participate
in a variety of ensembles, including the Northern Lights String Orchestra, Fairbanks
Symphony Orchestra, Nanook String Quartet, UAF chamber ensembles, and the Fairbanks
Cello Festival. Many cellists at UAF engage in educational outreach and are actively
involved with UAF’s National Association for Music Education chapter. UAF cellists
also have regular performance engagements at Music at One, masterclasses with guest
artists, recitals in the renowned Davis Concert Hall, and side-by-side performances
with UAF Music Department faculty.
