The first annual Cellobration Orlando was a huge success! Close to 50 participants gathered for the day-long workshop at Liberty Middle School on March 31st. Prior to the workshop, 30 people attended the cello masterclass held the Friday evening before. Eight talented cellists from the area performed for the guest clinician, Professor Greg Sauer from Florida State University.

On Saturday, three orchestras of celli gathered and rehearsed all day. The beginning, intermediate and advanced groups worked hard to prepare the concert at 5pm. Throughout the day, cellists enjoyed making music, meeting with vendors and trying instruments, raffle prizes, and plenty of social time. During lunchtime, Professor Sauer gave a cello recital which was greatly enjoyed by all.
Plans are already in the works for a bigger and better Cellobration Orlando next year. Hope to see you there!
FLASTA is pleased to announce the first ever Cellobration Orlando! Special thanks to Jessica Talbott for planning this wonderful event!

Members: Due to high costs, declining attendance, and lack of general interest, we will not be hosting a luncheon this year at FMEA. We are very sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused, but be assured that the executive board will continue to meet to come up with a solution for the 2008 FMEA conference.
We are trying to come up with something that will be enjoyable yet cost-effective as to include a large number of members. Our next general meeting will be this summer at the 2nd annual summer conference in Orlando. The conference will be held in July, but please check back to the website for exact dates.
