Concert Collaboration with Chase the Music
Chase the Music is a non-profit organization formed to facilitate the composition, performance and distribution of original music for critically ill children.
Music is a source of emotional strength for children, helping them cope with their illnesses and often contributing to improved physical well-being. If you know of a deserving child we should compose and perform music for, please contact us .
A concert collaboration with Chase the Music , our resident composer Nick Halsey with Cello Expressions and the Boulder Cello Project is in the works! We are still in the planning stages, but we will release more information in the next few weeks as we firm up details, and will post a Meetup event page for cellists who are interested in participating. Stay tuned!
Please welcome our new moderator: Stephen Weidner!

We are pleased to announced Stephen Weidner will be joining the BCP Team! Stephen is a retired Adjunct Professor, Director of Strings and Conductor at Colorado School of Mines. He teaches privately at his studios in Evergreen and Aurora and is a cellist with the Evergreen Chamber Orchestra.
Stephen is also a member of the Voice of the Wood Cello Quartet, which was founded in 2003. Originally comprised of the cello section from the Evergreen Chamber Orchestra in Evergreen Colorado, the cellists got together to rehearse and perform, locally, ‘Voice of the Wood – Concerto for 4 Cellos and Orchestra’ by composer Russell Peck. They enjoyed playing together so much they decided to make the commitment and perform as a group as much as possible. |

Don't miss Clayton's upcoming concert!
Louisville Cultural Council presents a 20th century musical journey around the world, featuring pianist Eneida Larti and cellist Clayton Vaughn. This wide-ranging program will present works from some of the most significant composers of the 20th century who achieved compositional innovation, yet created beautiful and accessible music that is admired by all audiences. From the raw sounds of Shostakovich and the achingly beautiful harmonies of Bridge to the spirited sounds of Falla and the lyricism of Villa-Lobos, this program will take you on a whirlwind tour around the world in 60 minutes.
