Welcome to The Susanne Beer Cello Corner Foundation!
The Susanne Beer Cello Corner Foundation supports young cellists though cello and bow loans, performance opportunities and assistance with tuition.
Susanne 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.

Elizaveta Lessoun and Susanne's Lockey Hill cello
Elizaveta Lessoun is the recipient of a three-year loan of Susanne Beer's Lockey Hill cello (c.1780). It is the cello that Susanne played on while she was co-principal cellist of the London Philharmonic Orchestra. Elizaveta is from Belarus and she studies with Melissa Phelps at the Royal College of Music in London. Elizaveta performed on this cello at Conway Hall Sunday Concerts in November 2020.
