This is the 3rd of 3 seasons in which Music Toronto has presented the Cecilia on this series. Formed in fall 2004 at the U of T, the quartet worked with the Emerson, the Tokyo, the Penderecki and the St. Lawrence.

After benefiting from support from both U of T and the Royal Conservatory, the Cecilia is enjoying a residency at San Diego State University. Sarah Nematallah and Min-Jeong Koh, violinists, Cailtin Boyle, violist, and Rebecca Wenham, cellist, won the CBC's Galaxie Rising Star Award in 2007, and placed second this past June in the Osaka International Chamber Music Competition. Claude Gingras of Montreal's La Presse described the Cecilia as "a very serious and a tremendously coherent ensemble whose astounding complicity, tuning ideas and focus capture that audience."

Marina Hoover is an accomplished cellist who now lives in Chicago and keeps busy with performing, his family of 3 sons, and playing tennis. She will also be performing for Music Toronto with the St. Lawrence Quartet on April 2, 2009.

Hsin-Yun Huang is an accomplished violist, formerly of the Brentano Quartet and now enjoying an international solo and chamber music career. Born in Taiwan, educated in the UK and at both Curtis and Juilliard, she now resides in New York and reached at both Mannes and Julliard.
