CELLO FRIENDS…we are about to start our 20th project! A real milestone. And if you haven’t yet heard, our next project will be three songs from my favorite band RADIOHEAD!!! Scroll down for the project update..

Last week, it was so amazing to catch up with so many of you on the first livestream of GCP20, where I presented the project and answered some immediate questions — check out the link at the bottom of the email to watch the livestream) — I think about 50 cellists were on the stream, and I realized just how much as the streams get larger, some of our people might feel left out. I wish I knew more of you better and I hope many of you would like to share more too.

Back when I was directing the Austin Cello Choir (for about 9 years I think), I would often share with the cellists how FOR ME, the rehearsals and the hang were so much more meaningful to me than the concerts, and I’m realizing that EXACT thing again with this group. We’ve got so many people with so many life experiences in so many places. It’s SO interesting to everyone, and I know I’m not alone in thinking that. And we know your cello has a history too and that would be fun to know too!

So, could we know more about you? Could we feature you in a little spot on emails, a little story about you and your cello? Rowan and I have put a little short survey together and we are hoping you can take the time to fill it out. 

With your permission, I would like to feature a different cellist from the Global Cello Project Community, their story and their cello in each GCP email!

We want to know MORE

about

YOU AND YOUR CELLO!

To submit your “Cello Story” fill in this form and you could be featured in the next GCP email! 

I think it will be a fun way to get to know each other, share our stories and favorite pieces, and find out who is in our amazing community!

You can upload two photos to feature alongside your story.

I can’t wait to read all about you and your cello!

GCP #20 Radiohead UPDATE:

COUNTDOWN STARTS NEXT WEEK!

Thanks for your patience on the release of project #20. You know, each project is pretty special and complex to me, and we are looking at starting the first countdown NEXT WEEK, so I hope you can join me for some livestreams from my home in Austin.

Again, THANK YOU to all of you who tuned in last week for the livestream introducing project #20. It was a big group! I’m so glad to know that many of you are already Radiohead fans like me, but it was also super fun to watch those of you hearing this music for the first time. Tune in below if you’d like to check it out.

The three songs that we are going to be performing for Global Cello Project #20 are…

Pyramid Song  Deck’s Dark  Jigsaw Falling into Place

(These are YouTube Links to the originals)

and HERE is a Spotify playlist of all these songs as well (and I might add a few more to help you down the Radiohead rabbit hole…

Radiohead makes some of my most favorite music of all time, and I’m so happy to be sharing it with y’all (many of y’all the first time, I know). I hope it will whet your appetites to check out all of their many studio albums, and of course I hope that you will join me for this journey.

And please, spread the word to all your cello friends. 

That’s all for now. NEXT WEEK, we launch. :) 

And say Happy Birthday to Roann! Happy birthday Rowan!

Cello love from,

Tony Rogers,
