In recital and with orchestra, Quartetto Gelato has become an international favorite with sold-out repeat performances in New York, Washington, Boston, Chicago, Houston, Dallas, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Toronto, London, Milan, Tokyo, Seoul and Hong Kong among others.
Classical in intent, eclectic by design, Quartetto Gelato's programs are filled with an exciting mix of traditional masterworks, operatic arias, tangos, gypsy fiddling and folk songs from around the world. Their relaxed stage presence establishes an immediate rapport with traditional and non-traditional classical audiences alike. Unique in the classical world, they perform without scores, giving their performances a sense of spontaneity and exuberance rarely seen on the classical stage.
Classical radio listeners across the continent know Quartetto Gelato by their instantly recognizable sound, which is broadcast frequently on the CBC, PRI and NPR networks. In particular, the band has been featured regularly on NPR's popular Performance Today program, which recognized Quartetto Gelato in 1996 by presenting them with their award for "Debut Artist of the Year." The panel of music critics who made that selection characterized the quartet as "an amazing ensemble that achieves the nearly impossible: they play salon music with real style and classical music with real precision; Great chops and a commitment in all that they play."
Quartetto Gelato - Travels the Orient Express follows the original journey of the famous train and featuring music from London to Istanbul. Since the release the recording has been on the top-selling classical charts in Canada.
In addition to this CD, Quartetto Gelato have also recently released their first live DVD titled "A Concert in Wine Country". This DVD has been met with praise from fans and critics alike after consecutive broadcasts on CBC, CBC HD-TV, PBS, and PBS HD-TV.

"Quartetto Gelato's performances have a warm, endearing vitality..." New York Times
"Light programming, like comedy, is serious business. Quartetto Gelato has the stuff. Dry humor and occasional clowning are part of the quartet's arsenal, yet first it meets the requisite of skilled music-making. Its pleasure-giving is consistent." LA Times
