Students from all over the world come to Amsterdam during the Cello Biënnale to spend several days seeing, hearing, and learning what would otherwise take them years to gather. A select few get the opportunity to be taught by the best cello pedagogues from the cello world. Every masterclass is an hour and 45 minutes long, the duration divided between two students. They are accompanied by two alternating pianists, Noriko Yabe and Daniël Kramer.
