Beth Silver (M.Mus) is thrilled to be part of a community in which she can thrive on her intuition and creativity.  As an involved freelancer based in Toronto, she is admired for expressive, compelling playing and her abilities to paint in many colours through her instrument and capture character and spontaneity in music - especially amidst interactive chamber settings.  A lover of many genres, Beth is equally at home in a traditional classical ensemble as she is in a band arranging and exploring new voices for cello.
