The Cello Plus Chamber Music Festival is a cornerstone of Michigan State University’s College of Music, blending classical mastery with contemporary voices. Directed by Suren Bagratuni, an esteemed cellist and Tchaikovsky Competition Silver Medalist (1986), the festival celebrates its rich history—from roots tracing back to 2002 and a 20th anniversary marked in 2022 after a pandemic pause. Each year, performers come together for intimate chamber performances, masterclasses, and innovative programs that push the boundaries of cello repertoire.
