Pianist Patricia Tao, founding member of the Guild Trio from 1988-1998, has led an active career as both soloist and chamber musician.

With the Trio, she won the prestigious USIA [United States Information Agency] Artistic Ambassador competition, resulting in a seven-country European tour. The following year her trio was awarded the position of Trio-in-Residence at the Tanglewood Music Center, where they were lauded by the Boston Globe as a “beautiful new landmark” on the concert stage.

She founded the Hear’s to Your Health concert series at the Walter MacKenzie Health Sciences Centre in Edmonton, Alberta. Offering free admission to classical music concerts for frazzled hospital workers as well as the general public, these concerts now have an appreciative following.

With cellist Marina Hoover, a founding member of the internationally-recognized and award-winning St. Lawrence String Quartet, the Hoover/Tao duo was formed. Patricia and Marina have joined forces to explore the great cello-piano literature.
