Young talents, old masters
“A first highlight is the first movement of Beethoven's Violinsonate No. 9, op.47. Here, Matthew Madonia (violin) & Chenny Gan (piano) shine in an inspiring, partnership-oriented music. Intense, emotional play of the violin is combined with the play of the piano to a captivating presentation.”

Bravura Quintet
“The bravura quintet around violinists Maïthéna Girault and Matthew Madonia, with Ting-Chieh Hsieh (viola), Michelle Lou (cello) and Carson Hayes (piano), cast a bright light into the nebulous realm of 20th century music: one would hardly have dared hope to find the work of Ernst von Dohnanyi so romantic and melodious.”

Faces of Success
“Matthew Madonia, a 2008 McGill-Toolen graduate, is a sophomore Michuda Music Scholarship student at the University of Notre Dame. His dedication and discipline has led to many achievements and honors as a violin performance major."
