16 Strings String Quartet Sunshine Coast

Jacinta Simons - Violin

Jacinta (violin) is the first violinist in the String Quartet.  She is currently still studying.  She has been playing the violin since she was 4 years old and feels very natural at it.  Her performing history involves playing 8 years with the Sunshine Coast Youth Orchestra with 3 of those years being concert master of the Concert Orchestra in the organisation.  She loves playing in the quartet and likes to produce a beautiful tone in her playing.

Eloise Fisher - Viola

Eloise (viola) is the viola player for the Sunshine Coast quartet. Currently still studying, Eloise has been learning an instrument since grade 3. When she was 8, she first learnt to play the violin but at 10 was given the opportunity to play the viola. Ever since then she has played the viola in school orchestras and had performing experience at Eisteddfods and school concerts. She has also been lucky enough to tour to Sydney and Canberra on school music tours where she has played in venues that include The Great Hall and Llewellyn Hall.

Natasha Cain - Cello

When given the opportunity to learn an instrument at the age of eight, Natasha chose the cello.  Why? According to her: “it seemed like a good idea at the time”.  Twelve years on, turns out it was. In the years she has been playing, Natasha has performed in eisteddfods, the Sunshine Coast Youth Orchestra, school musicals, amateur groups, at various functions and weddings, and was accepted into Creative Generations. She is now studying at university. Music has always been a big part of her life and she loves to share it with others.
