Award-winning violinist Meredith Bates is known for her elegant and virtuosic sound. Equally well-versed in both acoustic and processed performance, she has spent the past twenty years recording and touring around the world in ensembles such as Pugs & Crows, Gentle Party, Dyad, Joshua Zubot’s String Quintet, Tony Wilson’s Burn Down the Cornfield, Ford Pier’s Strength of Materials, Annie Lou, Alvaro Rojas’ Gran Casa and Music for 22, and Peggy Lee’s Echo Painting.

Calgary-born violinist Parmela Attariwala interweaves life as a performer-creator, academic, and music educator. Parmela trained formally in violin performance at Indiana University and in Bern, Switzerland, and studied ethnomusicology at the School of Oriental and African Studies (UK) and the University of Toronto (Ph.D.). Her creative work explores the liminal space between musical genres, artistic disciplines, and identities.
