Quartetto Gelato put on a terrific performance Saturday night. They exude energy and excitement, with humor and virtuosity to spare. The concert sold out weeks in advance, and I had a wait list of 50! Many thanks to Ilana Rubenfeld, Primary Sponsor, and Anne Decker, Tom & Karen O'Rourke, and People's Bank of Commerce, Associate Sponsors.
This week begins the Quartetto Gelato residency, sponsored by our generous supporter (and Season Sponsor) Jim Collier. The group will present two programs each day from January 12-16. A full schedule may be found here. All are welcome to attend these free events.
Many of you may remember their concert on our series in 2006, and that the personnel was a bit different. If you remember their last visit, you certainly remember Cynthia Steljes, their phenomenal oboist. In a terrible tragedy, Cynthia passed away only months after that performance due to pleural mesothelioma, a rare form of asbestos-related lung cancer. The group has carried on in her honor since that time, and continues to tour throughout the world.
Here are some photos from Saturday night's performance:
Great Concert! Thanks Ilana, Anne, Tom,Karen and People's Bank for sponsoring the concert. Thank you Jim for sponsoring the residency. We are very lucky.
