Concert with the Cecilia String Quartet

In October, the Toronto-based Cecilia String Quartet spent four days at CMW for a specially designed Institute for Musicianship and Public Service. Recent winners of the Banff International String Quartet Competition, these four fantastically talented Quartet members joined forces with CMW musicians--professional and student--for the traditional concert (and pasta dinner) at the West End Community Center.
