Rebecca Wenham, cello 

Cellist Rebecca Wenham's performances have been described as "silken, highly refined" (The Globe and Mail) as well as having "extraordinary commitment and maturity" (La Gazette).  Formerly a member of the Cecilia String Quartet, she won prizes in the Osaka, Rutenberg, Bordeaux and Banff International String Quartet Competitions, and was a CBC Galaxie Rising Star in 2007. Highlights of the 2015 season included performances of Elgar, Schumann and Brahms Double concertos, as well as a recital of 21st century solo cello repertoire, presented by Music on Main.  Rebecca is principal cellist of the Vancouver Opera and a member of Microcosmos Quartet. She holds degrees from the HARID Conservatory of Music, and from Rice, San Diego State and McGill Universities.
