Quartetto Gelato

With their breathtaking virtuosity, irrepressible energy and charming wit, Quartetto Gelato has won the hearts of audiences across their native Canada and the U.S. since their remarkable 1994 debut season. In programs featuring an exciting mix of classical favourites, operatic arias, traditional melodies, tangos and gypsy fiddling, Quartetto Gelato’s members perform on multiple instruments, including oboe, English horn, violin, cello, accordion, guitar and mandolin.

In recent seasons, the ensemble has enjoyed return engagements on such prestigious concert series as New York’s Metropolitan Museum Concerts and Lectures, Washington (DC) Performing Arts Society, San Francisco Performances, UCLA Performing Arts Series and the Houston Society for the Performing Arts, as well as at Kioi and Oji Halls in Tokyo. Their 2000-2001 season included recitals and workshops throughout the US and Canada, as well as in Korea, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Taiwan, China and Macao.

Active in the recording studio, Quartetto Gelato released Neapolitan Café in April of 2001. Their previous recordings are Aria Fresca, Rustic Chivalry, and their debut recording, simply entitled, Quartetto Gelato.
