In 2020, as the tense initial months of the pandemic bore on and indoor performances continued to be banned, many musicians began performing outdoors in the streets of San Francisco, at street closures, cul de sacs, and driveways, sharing their music widely with the public. Thus the Cecilia Ensemble was born, friends that naturally took to making music together and encouraging each other through times of uncertainty. Members of the quartet perform regularly with the S.F. Opera & Ballet Orchestras. They have collaborated with many guest artists including world-renowned pianist Mack McCray and Fabrizio Corona from the SF Opera, As a Quartet they have performed at Dolores Basilica, Throckmorton Theatre (Mill Valley), The Gough House and The Episcopal Church of the Incarnation. Performing works by Schubert, Bartok & Brahms.
