Patrice worked with orchestras in Québec and Ontario, including the Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal, Orchestre Symphonique de Québec and Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony Orchestra. He was then hired in the first violin section of the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra where he stayed for two years.

Prudence McDaniel is the cellist with the award-winning Marian Anderson String Quartet. She has more than 20 years of orchestral and freelance experience, having performed with organizations such as Houston Symphony and New York Philharmonic. Prudence has been the featured soloist with several regional orchestras and has been recorded for broadcast in Portugal and on WQED-FM. She is the cell instructor at Temple College, and a lecturer in the Department of Visual and Performing Arts & Kinesiology at Blinn College on the Bryan, TX campus.

Hailed for her “sensitive, flexible, and tempestuous dexterity” (Fanfare Magazine), pianist Michelle Schumann has built a reputation for evocative and moving performances. Since 2006, Michelle has served as Artistic Director of the Austin Chamber Music Center, where she “is fearlessly expanding our definition of chamber music” (Austin American-Statesman). Her brand of performance includes an enthusiastic interplay with the audience and her trademark includes bringing diverse music together under a blanket of narrative events.
