Canada’s foremost piano quartet, Ensemble Made In Canada (EMIC) brings together four of the country’s most acclaimed chamber musicians: violinist Elissa Lee, violist Sheila Jaffé, cellist Trey Lee, and pianist Philip Chiu. Each a formidable soloist and collaborator in their own right, the ensemble’s collective artistry is shaped by experiences at world-renowned institutions and festivals, with members having worked with luminaries like James Ehnes, Nikolaus Harnoncourt, and the BBC Philharmonic. In 2021, EMIC won a JUNO for Classical Album of the Year for their album, Mosaïque, a commissioned suite of piano quartets by 14 Canadian composers.
Lauded for their dynamic performances and rich interpretative insight, EMIC has performed at major festivals and concert series across North America, while also championing music education through outreach and masterclasses. Whether performing classical repertoire or newly commissioned works, they captivate audiences with their expressive range and technical brilliance.
From the concert halls of Canada to international stages, EMIC continues to redefine the Canadian chamber music landscape with passion, precision, and imagination.
