For over a decade, Quartetto Gelato has enchanted audiences and critics worldwide with its exotic blend of musical virtuosity, artistic passion, and charisma. Classical in training, eclectic by design, the group thrills listeners with its multiinstrument mastery and brilliant operatic tenor. Its globe-spanning repertoire includes classical masterworks, operatic arias, sizzling tangos, and folk songs. There’s also a World Accordion Champion and a stage presence and relaxed humor that establish an intimate rapport with the audience. Winner of the coveted Debut Artist of the Year award on NPR’s Performance Today, Quartetto Gelato is “an amazing ensemble that achieves the nearly impossible: they play salon music with real style and classical music with real precision.”
