About the Ensemble

What is ELPIS?

ELPIS — named for the Greek spirit of hope — is an adult cello ensemble founded within JP Cello Studio. It exists for one reason: to give adult cellists a joyful, low-pressure space to make music together.

Whether you played as a child and are returning to the instrument, or you have been studying for years and want the experience of ensemble playing, ELPIS welcomes you. We rehearse weekly, perform at local venues and community events, and share a deep love of the cello.

Membership is open to adult cellists of varying levels. No audition is required — only enthusiasm and a willingness to show up and play.
