Beyond the CMO, Sheung Chak plays the piano for a string quartet, volunteers for the Neighborhood Schools Program, and performs research assistant work for the Economics Department.

Shirley Zhang is a fourth year economics major and music minor. Outside of school and CMO, she is the cellist of the Rubicon Quartet, is on the competitive Chicago Raas team, and doesn't do research at Booth. When she's not doing these things, you can probably find her reading or watching the Great British Bake Off. Born and raised in Texas, Shirley harbors a deep love-hate relationship with the Lone Star state.
Annie Chen is a fourth year Computer Science major. She plays viola in way too many things, and used to play piano but is now reduced to awkwardly moving fingers along to random sheet music found in the basement of South Campus. Her areas of expertise include Facebook stalking, some sports, knitting, stuffed animals, and pretending like a year of SOSC has made her a prominent social theorist. In her free time she enjoys eating, the Internet, and making grand life plans she'll never fulfill.

Lily is a fourth year Sociology and Comparative Race and Ethnic Studies major from (very white, very rich) Northville, Michigan. She plays the violin (or like, used to) and is facing the Queen’s rath for leaving the University Symphony Orchestra for half a quarter. She likes all of the Brahms Symphonies, Beethoven’s Emperor Concerto, and cries to Dvorak’s New World Symphony. She exclusively watches 30 Rock and Bob’s Burgers and procrastinates by peeing and showering. She has a short temper, cares about people of color, and focuses the majority of her time on dismantling the patriarchy by yelling at random people.
