Superior String Alliance teaches the U.P.’s next generation of string players, connects musicians from all over the U.P. and beyond, and grows young musicians’ artistry by fostering a community built on curiosity and kindness.

Adam Hall, a Marquette-based cellist and teacher, will perform selections for solo cello and then discuss the history and practice of classical music in a modern context, specifically as it relates to the work of SSA in Marquette and the Upper Peninsula.
