She is one of the most famous martyrs of Rome, and has been immortalized in poems and music throughout the ages, including modern times. The National Academy of Santa Cecilia, founded by papal decree in 1585, is one of the oldest musical institutions in the world. Her feast day, November 22, is celebrated, with music festivals and concerts, in many churches around the world. St. Cecilia is frequently depicted playing either a small viola or a violin.
In her honour, Cecilia Music strives for excellence in violin instruction. We recognize the joy in beautiful music celebrated in honour of St. Cecilia.

As a professional musician, I am available for weddings, funerals, parties, and church services. For many years I have been performing, in different capacities, throughout the lower mainland.
Miriam and Susan were a wonderful addition to our wedding celebration! They made the guests feel welcomed and set the mood as everyone arrived for the ceremony. They played beautifully for our guests as we prepared for the ceremony. They were able to do an arrangement of a pop song that I requested, which they made into a beautiful acoustic version. Live music always elevates any event, but the work of Miriam and Susan not only elevated, but fit seamlessly and warmed our hearts on our special day. We are forever grateful to have had talented, kind, and patient musicians, accompany us on our big day!
