Founded in 2002 while three of its members were students at the University of Toronto, the Tokai String Quartet has studied with the Emerson, Ying, Orion, St. Lawrence, and Leipzig Quartets. Winning the Felix Galimir Chamber Music Award from the University of Toronto led to a short concert tour with Scott St. John, Douglas MacNabney, and the St. Lawrence String Quartet. Most recently, Debut Atlantic awarded them a concert tour of Atlantic Canada for spring 2007.
