A graduate of the Royal College of Music and the Juilliard School, where she studied with Rodney Friend, Michaela Comberti, Adrian Butterfield, Gordan Nikolič and Lewis Kaplan, Cerys has indicated she is stepping down to pursue new musical collaborations and to allow herself more time with her young family.

“I will always love Ollie, Gary and Chris like family …” she has said of her fellow quartet members.
