Cellist and chamber musician Marie-Aline Cadieux, the recipient of the Pennsylvania/Delaware String Teachers Association Outstanding String Teacher Award, may be heard as a member of Duo Terlano with her husband, violinist Johannes Dietrich, with the Dela’Art Trio in residence at Lebanon Valley College, and in her own solo recitals.  She has performed across Europe, but has become an established presence in the Mid-Atlantic music scene since moving to the area in 1999.  Duo Terlano's CD, Whimsies, was released in 2007.

Having served for many years as Principal Cellist for the Illinois Symphony and Illinois Chamber Orchestra, as well as festival orchestras including those at Aspen, the Blossom Music Festival, and Great Music West, traveling Broadway shows, and dance companies such as the Mark Morris Dance Group, she brings extensive knowledge of all styles of orchestral playing to her students, many of whom have gone on to win competitions and places in leading music conservatories. In addition, she has toured extensively with the Kirkland Trio, and performed with the Lehigh Valley Chamber Orchestra.

She holds the Graduate Performance Certificate from Northwestern University and the DMA from Ohio State University. She was a finalist in the Chicago Symphony/Rose Faye Thomas Competition, a fellowship award recipient at the Bach Aria Festival on Long Island NY, and has received numerous teaching awards. Cadieux has presented workshops and clinics at the ASTA and MENC conventions in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Maryland, and has produced a DVD on healthy cello technique as well as her own intermediate scale and velocity study book.  In February, she will be presenting a workshop at the national ASTA convention in California.  Her critical edition of the Emilie Mayer E minor sonata, which she re-discovered, is available from Hildegard Publishers.

Physically healthy playing and authentic, personal musicianship are the goals of her teaching, which she supports with a background in Alexander Technique and a thorough knowledge of performance styles from the Baroque era to the present.
