First prize-winners of the 2010 Banff International String Quartet Competition (BISQC), Canada’s Cecilia String Quartet has quickly attracted the attention of the chamber world at home and internationally. Praised for their “extraordinary commitment and maturity” (Gazette) and “’talent, passion and mastery” (Jacques Robert, JR Multimedia), this young quartet is one of Canada’s most exciting young ensembles today. They are currently the Graduate Resident String Quartet at The Royal Conservatory’s Glenn Gould School.
The CSQ has performed for some of the most respected chamber series internationally, such as Music Toronto (Toronto, Canada), The La Jolla Music Society (San Diego, USA), ProQuartet (Paris, France), and the Ottawa International Chamber Music Festival. They also toured Ontario, Quebec, and British Columbia with Jeunesses Musicales Canada on their Desjardins Concert Series. In addition to their prize at the 2010 BISQC, they were prize-winners at the Bordeaux (2010), Osaka (2008), and Rutenberg (2008) International Chamber Music Competitions. Committed to teaching and outreach, the CSQ has taught and performed at the Austin Chamber Music Festival in Texas and at QuartetFest at Laurier University in Waterloo, and has presented educational programs for elementary and high schools across the USA, Canada, and France.
The Cecilia String Quartet takes its name from St. Cecilia, the patron saint of music. Members of the CSQ have attended the University of Toronto, The Glenn Gould School, The Juilliard School, Oberlin Conservatory, New England Conservatory, and the Hochschule fur Musik und Theatre Munchen in Munich, Germany. CSQ’s performances have been broadcast on Classical 96.3 FM, CBC Radio 2, KUT 90.5 FM (Austin, Texas), and ABC Classical FM (Melbourne, Australia). Min-Jeong Koh currently plays on the ca. 1767 Joannes Baptista Guadagnini violin on loan from the Canada Council for the Arts and an anonymous donor, and Sarah Nematallah currently plays on the 1851 Jean Baptiste Vuillaume on loan from an anonymous donor. The quartet would like to thank the anonymous donor and the Canada Council for the Arts for their generous support.
