Chichester Hub
Welcome to the Chichester Hub, your Southern British Cello Society home! I’m Laura Ritchie, your hub leader and I’m located at the University of Chichester. Over the coming year you can look forward to a range of opportunities to learn, share, perform, and collaborate with other cellists. I am always on the end of an email to hear suggestions of ways we can enrich the musical lives of cellists.
