Rose Gellert String Quartet: Profile + Individual Bios

Rose Gellert String Quartet is the ensemble in residence at LCMS, performing regularly for the school’s concert series, heading up and coaching for several chamber music programs, and providing instruction for music students. Outside LCMS, the quartet performs for various concert series throughout the Fraser Valley. Will Chen and Llowyn Ball (violin) and Ben Goheen (cello) are all active musicians, teachers, and music coaches who, through their LCMS residency, enjoy fulfilling their mandate to create and foster community and a deeper appreciation of music, providing outreach concerts at local schools and bringing live music to seniors’ homes where residents might otherwise go without the joy of live music.

Will Chen, violin
Violinist Will Chen’s performances have taken him all over Canada, Europe and the United Kingdom as a soloist and chamber musician with the rising group Mainzer Virtuosi Chamber Orchestra. He holds a Bachelors of Music from the University of Victoria, and a Masters degree from Hochschule fur Musik Mainz, Germany. He has studied with teachers such as Patricia Shih, Ann Elliott-Goldschmid, Gwen Thompson, Roger Chase and Anne Shih. In addition to performing, Will is the conductor of the Surrey Symphony Society’s Intermediate Strings.

Llowyn Ball, violin
Llowyn Ball is a dedicated and experienced chamber and orchestral musician. Llowyn completed his Masters degree in violin performance at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music after studying at the UBC School of Music. He regularly performs with the Kamloops Symphony Orchestra, Vancouver Island Symphony Orchestra, the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra, & Vancouver New Music. When not with four strings under his fingers, Llowyn is most likely to be found with grease under his fingernails while tinkering on an old British motorcycle, or piloting a passenger ferry.

Ben Goheen, cello
Ben Goheen holds his Masters degree in Cello Performance from the University of British Columbia. Since his move from Ontario, he has enjoyed performing with several symphonies and ensembles, including: Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, Vancouver Opera Orchestra, Vancouver Island Symphony Orchestra, and Vancouver Inter-Cultural Orchestra. He is also an active chamber musician and loves performing with a variety of smaller chamber ensembles throughout the Lower Mainland. In addition to performing, Ben enjoys teaching a full roster of cello students throughout the week as well as recording for various in-studio sessions on a project basis. If he had to choose a second passion for life, his answer would be quick and easy: beach volleyball.

Caroline Olsen, viola
Caroline Olsen earned her Master of Music in Viola Performance at the University of British Columbia, where she is currently a doctoral performance student and has twice been awarded the viola chair in the UBC Graduate Resident String Quartet. In addition to holding a permanent position with the Kamloops Symphony Orchestra, Caroline often performs with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, Vancouver Island Symphony, Vancouver Metropolitan Orchestra, Prince George Symphony Orchestra, Symphony 21, and the Pacific Baroque Orchestra. Complementary projects incorporate studio and live work in diverse genres, and she is currently performing with Mariachi Tabasko and The Living Orchestra. A passionate educator with Suzuki training, Caroline has taught private violin and viola music lessons to students of all ages throughout her career. The violist serves as secretary of the Canadian Viola Society, which nurtures the community of violists across the country.
