Students from all over the world travel to Amsterdam during the Cello Biënnale, so that they can spend several days seeing, hearing and learning what would otherwise take them years to experience. A select few get the opportunity to receive lessons from the best pedagogues in the cello world. Each masterclass is an hour and 45 minutes long, divided between two students. They are accompanied on the piano by Noriko Yabe and Daniël Kramer.
