Who We Are!
The Seattle Suzuki Cellos are thrilled to be back at the Queen Anne Market for our twelfth year! See below for our concert program. Special thanks to Sarah and to all of those folks in the market for having us back! They work incredibly hard to put on the best Farmer’s Market in Seattle!!

The students have worked very hard to bring you this concert today! If you enjoy what you hear, you may tip the kids by using the basket OR by making a Venmo payment. Tips only go to the kids, and are distributed equally amongst them.
