Enjoy an evening of uniquely performed music by Quartetto Gelato in The Bailey Theatre on Tuesday, October 6 at 7:30 pm as Trail & District Arts Council presents the Classical series.
Quartetto Gelato are a highly unusual classical quartet that plays virtuosic showpieces and romantic ballads, blazing Romani tunes and forgotten tunes, all brought to life with multi-instrument mastery.
With sold-out performances in New York, Washington, L.A., London, Tokyo, Hong Kong and elsewhere, this dazzling ensemble has enchanted audiences and critics worldwide with its exotic blend of musical virtuosity, artistic passion and humour. With a performance repertoire that spans the globe and includes classical masterworks, engaging vocals, the sizzling energy of tangos, Romani and klezmer songs, the group’s theatrical stage presence and relaxed humour establish an intimate rapport with audiences worldwide.
“All of the members of Quartetto Gelato are clearly virtuosos in their own right.” – Colin Clarke, Fanfare Magazine
“Quartetto Gelato is a dazzling group whose musicians come from the background of classical music and which makes all kinds of music a carnival of humor and virtuosity.” – Kimmo Mattila (Finnish Accordion Magazine)
“Quartetto Gelato base their humor on a solid basis of musicianship, often quite dazzling in execution.” – Fanfare Magazine
“Dry humor and occasional clowning are part of the quartet’s arsenal, yet first, it meets the requisite virtues of skilled music-making. Its pleasure-giving is consistent.” – Los Angeles Times
