The Cello Company
The Cello Company was established in Parkersburg, West Virginia in 1994 by founder and director, Cynthia Puls. Her belief is that all children are talented. She uses the Shinichi Suzuki based principals in her teaching, just as a child learns to talk then to read words, these children are taught to play then to read music. She believes in promoting a family focused environment for the development of these young students. The secret behind the success of these students is their hard work, dedication, parental support, and a love of music.
The Cello Company performed for the WTAP telethon to support special needs children at Grand Central Mall, the opening of the WV House of Delegates in Charleston, WV, the opening of the Cultural Art Center (Parkersburg, WV), The Smoot Theater (WV), The Castle (Marietta, OH), The Multi-Cultural Festival (WV), Martin Luther King Celebration at the WV Cultural Center in Charleston, WV, Tamarack in Beckley, WV, as part of their Sunday's at Two Series, performed in the 2nd Annual Beatles Bash held at The Smoot Theatre, performed with the Evergreen Strings at Ohio Valley University (Vienna, WV) and the Marshall String Ensemble at Marshall University (Huntington, WV) as soloist on the Vivaldi Double Cello Concerto.
