Welcome to The Susanne Beer Cello Corner Foundation!
The Susanne Beer Cello Corner Foundation is a registered charity that helps young cellists attain excellence in performance though cello and bow loans; performance opportunities; prizes; and tuition grants, in memory of cellist Susanne Beer.
Susanne Beer was, for nearly 20 years, co-principal cellist of the London Philharmonic. She was also an inspirational teacher – and deeply committed to nurturing future generations of cellists. The Foundation is a tribute to Susanne and a means by which her life’s work continues.

The Susanne Beer Cello Corner Foundation Fundraiser Concert
4:30pm, Dec 16th, 2023
St James' Church, Islington
Talented young cellists will perform at The Susanne Beer Cello Corner Foundation Fundraiser Concert. Last year, thanks to the hard work and beautiful performances of over 20 young cellists, our fundraiser raised £1130. Funds went towards purchasing of cellos for loan; help with costs such as insurance and repairs; and tuition grants to individual cellists with financial need. It will be a wonderful evening of music, followed by a celebratory reception.

'I made a cello positions diagram (when I was struggling to get my head around it) to help me help Arthur a few years ago, which Susi really liked so she took a look at it and corrected my mistakes. I called it Arthur's Cello Notes. Susi encouraged me to share it. You may remember seeing a copy of it in her studio.' - Sophia Wimpenny
