quartet is in its second year of presenting innovative performances in the Rochester area.  This cello quartet was founded as part of the Fortissimo! Inc. Chamber Music program at Nazareth College. Through the Fortissimo! program, the members have also arranged pieces for the quartet with Nancy Strelau, Nazareth College's Orchestra Conductor and Instrumental Activities Coordinator.  All four Amanticello cellists are current members of the Hochstein Youth Symphony Orchestra, and actively participate in their high school music programs.  When not playing cello, the group enjoys kayaking and cooking together.

Amanticello notes among its performances the 2007 Finger Lakes Chamber Music Festival, Harley School BLAST fundraiser at the Memorial Art Gallery, at the New York State Culinary Institute, and at a special artist gathering "living room" concert sponsored by the Arts Council for Wyoming County. 

The four members of the quartet include Penfield High sophomore Paul Watrobski, Harley School junior Chris Hoeger, Hannah Whitehead, a junior at Canandaigua Academy, and Andrew Jones, a senior at Webster Schroeder High School.
