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.

On Sale: Arthur's Cello Notes

Picture
This beautiful fingering chart poster, created by Sophia Wimpenny,  is for sale through The Susanne Beer Cello Corner Foundation (thecellocornerfoundation@gmail.com). It costs £10 and all proceeds go to the Foundation. The poster is printed on quality card stock and measures  approximately 6 x  28 inches. It makes a lovely piece of art for your wall, or a useful diagram for your cello case. 

'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

The Cello Corner YouTube Channel  was created by Susanne to support and encourage her Suzuki students through educational and motivational videos and to document their progress. The Channel is now updated by The Susanne Beer Cello Corner Foundation and has over 14200 followers. Proceeds from clicks go to the Foundation so please watch and subscribe!
