Collectif de la Cité may have just arrived in Ontario, but it’s no stranger to the world of exquisite wedding music!
While we might be new to Toronto, our collective of string players brings a wealth of experience that surpasses many of the familiar names you may already know.
Our story began many years ago in the enchanting city of Quebec, a place renowned for its romanticism and charm. Marie-Pier, a passionate cellist, was frequently performing at weddings with her beloved quartet when she realized they could transform their shared love of music into a small business.
In no time, their reputation spread throughout Quebec City, and soon, they were invited to perform in Montreal. As the demand grew, it became clear that one ensemble wasn’t enough, leading to the creation of a second team in Montreal.
Over the years, the Collectif expanded, welcoming more talented and friendly musicians into the fold. A few years ago, one of our gifted violinists from Montreal, Daphne, moved to Toronto. After playing at several weddings, she noticed that the level of organization and warmth she had experienced with Collectif de la Cité was missing in her new city. Inspired, she decided to establish a new team in Toronto, bringing together the finest violinists, violists, cellists, and pianists she had met. And so, Collectif de la Cité Toronto was born, ready to bring the same elegance and charm to weddings across the GTA.
