Stellae Boreales – An Ottawa Suzuki Strings Violin Ensemble

Fundraising Conert for the Washington DC 2012 Tour
November 26, 2011

Stellae Boreales would like to thank all those who came out to our concert.  Your support is greatly appreciated.  We would also like to thank our host, Julian Armour, our guest musicians, Caroline Leonardelli and David Thies-Thompson, all of our auction donations and of course, our sponsors.  Without you, our concert would not have been a success.

Presenting Stellae Boreales

Stellae Boreales is an advanced violin choir. Members range in age from 11 to 17, and most have been studying the violin since age 4 or 5. Many of the musicians have had the honour of performing with Maestro Pinchas Zukerman and the NAC Orchestra, two members were part of the Suzuki Japan 2005 Ensemble that performed at Expo2005 in Aichi, Japan, and many have been prize winners at the Kiwanis Music Festival and in the Canada Music Competition. In 2008 the group undertook a two week performance tour of China. The group has also visited New York City, and closed the 2010–2011  season with performances in Iceland.

Ensemble members are drawn from the studios of Rosemarie Klimasko, Kit Barham, Serhii Vyhovskyi, Jennfier Duke and Elaine Klimasko.
