They have performed across Vancouver Island and the mainland. The members have studied at University of Victoria, University of Toronto, Mercer University, New England Conservatory of Music, and University of Michigan and perform regularly with other ensembles such as Victoria Symphony, Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, Sidney Classical Orchestra, Victoria Baroque Players, and Pacific Baroque Orchestra.

=0D=0A=A few elements we really value as part of our concerts is combining familiar pieces with newer, honing a diverse range of music from different eras, having a family-friendly length of program and interaction with the audience, and all in all, making classical music more accessible and relatable to all audience types, especially those who may be less familiar with that type of repertoire.
