Welcome

This Canadian quartet was formed in 2005, and is quickly being recognized by audiences and critics alike as an up-and-coming ensemble of the 21st century.

Lily String Quartet embodies many of the characteristics of its namesake, Lily Boulanger: elegance, beauty, tenacity, and imagination.



"I just wanted to thank you guys, Lily Quartet for the most beautiful music I have ever heard. Thank-you soo much for playing at our wedding. The second I could hear the music, I started to cry and cry. (I am NOT a crier! Seriously, I RARELY do) It was so beautiful, and I have heard so many comments that it was the true treat at the wedding.
Thank-you so much for making our day so memorable. It was absolutely excellent. I will recommend you to anyone who will listen!"

"Thank you... for your wonderful performance at the wedding. I was straining behind the door to hear it all before I made my entrance!... Wonderful - simply wonderful.
"Again thank you, thank you, thank you - you really were a great help to me and comfort. Best of luck to you both professionally and personally. I will recommend your ensemble to everyone I know (I hope you don't mind travel!)."
