Adalus Low-Manzini

Co-Director of Operations and Social Media Coordinator

Adalus Low-Manzini is an emerging Venezuelan cellist based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, where she attends the University of Michigan. She was awarded the Sphinx Organization Scholarship which allows one Black or Latinx student every year to pursue a post-graduate degree at the school. She received her Bachelors’ of Music in Cello Performance from Louisiana State University in May 2021, where she studied with Dennis Parker. At present, Adalus carries out an important activity as a musician that includes both pedagogy, as well as chamber and orchestral music. From 2019 to 2021, Adalus was a cello teaching artist at Kids' Orchestra (an “El Sistema” inspired music program), where she taught cello to elementary and middle school children in the Baton Rouge area. Previously, she taught for over five years in Venezuela.

One of Adalus' passions is creating educational and informative content about music for social media. She has been the Video and Social Director for the International Cello Institute since 2019, and occasionally collaborates with the department of Creation of Digital Content of Strings of Latin America (SOLA) and The Sphinx Catalog of Latin American Cello Works, these last two initiatives of the Sphinx Organization.
