Audition for the Loan of Susanne's Lockey Hill Cello
On Wednesday 23 September 2020, The Susanne Beer Cello Corner Foundation held an audition for the three-year loan of Susanne Beer’s Lockey Hill cello (c1780). It is the cello that Susanne played on while she was co-principal cellist of the LPO. The venue was Tom Woods Cellos in Central London and the winner was 18-year old Elizaveta Lessoun, from Belarus. Elizaveta studies with Melissa Phelps at the Royal College of Music in London.
