Renown for its exceptional maturity and stunning creativity, the Cecilia String Quartet is considered one of the most fascinating ensembles on the current Canadian scene.
The SMCQ has been moving in step with the lively rhythms of new music for over forty-five years. With its regular concert season, its Série hommage (Homage Series), an international festival, and a young listener’s programme, the society has served both as a platform for today’s composers and as a window on creative works for everyone.
