The Borealis would like to acknowledge the continuing support of the CHIMEI Culture Foundation. In addition to sponsoring the Quartet with four priceless Italian instruments, the CHIMEI Culture Foundation is also generously covering the costs of insurance - a considerable contribution especially under the difficult financial conditions of the current world economy.

We give our thanks to all the people who worked hard for the Borealis with a special thank you to:

• Wen-Long Shi, Founder & President of CHIMEI Corporation
• Kan-Nan Zhuo, President of CHIMEI Culture Foundation
• Ling-Ling Kuo, Chief Director of CHIEMI Museum

We are excited to continue performing on these wonderful instruments with the beautiful colours and qualities of sound they offer!

Thank you from the Borealis String Quartet!
