Canadian cellist, Geneviève Guimond will join Montréal based pianist Philip Chiu to bring a program of intense and emotionally varied music.
Ms. Guimond began her cello studies at the age of 5 and made her orchestral debut at the age of 10 with I Musici of Montréal, under the direction of Yuli Trnovsky. The winner of many prizes including first prize at the Canadian Music Competition, Geneviève has performed extensively as a soloist and chamber musician in Canada, Italy, Greece, Spain, China and Japan.
