The SCASTA ’Cello Choir has been an annual event since it first took place at the University of South Carolina in Columbia in 1980.  For the first 20 years it alternated annually between Furman and USC, and during the last several years it has also taken place at Bob Jones University and Converse College.  Additional sponsors of this year’s event include Bernhardt House of Violins, Jim Clinton Violins, and Reuning and Son Violins.
