100 Years, 100 Cellos to benefit QCSO Music Education programs

As you know, superstar cellist Yo-Yo Ma is coming to help us celebrate our 100th Season with a special concert on May 14, 2015 at the Adler Theatre, Davenport. In honor of his performance and our historic year, Volunteers for Symphony has launched "100 Years, 100 Cellos", a project that will create and display beautiful art around the Quad Cities and raise awareness and funds to support the QCSO educational programs.

You can be a part of this ambitious project to create 100 painted cellos by signing up to be an artist or a sponsor! Sponsorships starts at $1,000, and you can either decorate your own cello or have an artist provided for you by VfS. You can also determine the display location of the cello. All of the cellos will be brought together at our Birthday Party on May 29, 2015 at the Figge Art Museum (more details to come about that). Our fundraising goal is to raise $100,000 and make everyone in the QC aware of our critical Music Education programs, and we can do it with your help. Click here to read more about the 100 Years, 100 Cellos Project.
