Praised for their 'extraordinary commitment and maturity' (Montréal Gazette) and 'talent, passion and mastery' (Jacques Robert, JR Multimedia), the Cecilia String Quartet is one of Canada's most exciting young ensembles today.  First Prizewinners of the 2010 Banff International String Quartet Competition (BISQC) and Second Prizewinners of the 2008 Osaka International Chamber Music Competition, they are currently the Graduate Resident String Quartet at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto.  They are also Quartet in Residence of Jeunesses Musicales du Canada for their 60th Anniversary Season. 

Committed to teaching and outreach, the Cecilia Quartet have presented educational programs for elementary and high school students across the USA, Canada, and France.   The Cecilia String Quartet takes its name from St. Cecilia, the patron saint of music.
