Violinist of the Sinfonia Toronto chamber orchestra. She is currently the co-Artistic
Director and co-Founder of the Alicier Arts Chamber Music series. In recent years she has

A native of Hong Kong, Phoebe Tsang was raised in England and currently resides in
Toronto. Her passion for poetry was first nurtured by her mother's love of English
literature, followed by a number of teachers to whom she owes her informal education,
including most recently Robert Priest and Allan Briesmaster. Her experience as journalist
for a UK architectural magazine is another influence - Phoebe also holds a degree in
Architecture from the University of London, England.
