Quartetto Gelato

With a vast performance repertoire that includes classical masterworks, engaging vocals, and the sizzling energy of tangos, klezmer, and traditional folk songs, Quartetto Gelato has dazzled and enchanted audiences with its exotic blend of musical virtuosity, artistic passion and humour for over 3 decades.

Quartetto Gelato’s international career was launched when they won the coveted title of NPR Performance Today’s “Debut Artist of the Year.” The group is regularly heard on the CBC, Classical 96.3 FM, NPR, PRI, and numerous international networks, not to mention the soundtrack of the Hollywood film “Only You,” starring Robert Downey Jr and Marisa Tomei. Quartetto Gelato achieved unique global reach when Canadian astronaut Dr. Robert Thirsk chose their first two CDs to take on board during his NASA flight on the space shuttle Columbia, to literally be heard around the world!
