She then went on to tell the children and adults who attended all about her cello. The highlight of the program occurred during Adele’s introduction to her cello when she invited the children to touch her cello and feel its strings.
The program ended with children of all ages exploring Adele’s Cello Petting Zoo that included cellos of all sizes. The program ended with Adele playing a short performance and all the children exploring Adele’s Cello Petting Zoo that included cellos of all sizes and for kids of all ages.
