Maurizio Baccante Cello

For years, Maurizio Baccante successfully pursued a life of financial instability and chronic self-torment.

More recently, following his marriage to American violinist Jennie Choi Baccante and the birth of their daughter Giulia Sanghee Baccante 2 years ago, Maurizio began an interest in Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Sub-prime mortgages.

Continuing in his role as cellist and Latin love interest with the Emperor Quartet, Maurizio also tends to his responsibilities as the principal cellist of the National Ballet of Canada and as a member of the Santa Fe Opera and the Canadian Opera Company.

His various interests have led him to, amongst other things, perform as an actor at Second City in Toronto, white water canoe the infamous Moisie River in Quebec and receive an all expenses paid stay at the Don Jail.

Born in Venezuela and raised in Argentina and Italy, Maurizio settled with his family in Toronto where he eagerly awaits the effects of global warming in southern Ontario.

Maurizio loves playing with his instrument: a 160 years young cello by Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume, also know as Dante Baccante.
