International Cello Day is celebrated annually on 29 December honoring the life and contributions of Pablo Casals, one of the greatest cellists in history. Casals, born on 29 December 1876, revolutionized the way the cello was played and appreciated, bringing it to the forefront as a solo instrument.

- Concerts and recitals by cellists around the world.
- Workshops and masterclasses to inspire and train the next generation of cellists.
- Community performances in schools and public spaces to share the cello’s music with wider audiences.
- Sharing recordings and stories of iconic cellists like Pablo Casals, Jacqueline du Pré, and Yo-Yo Ma.
