Their musical repertoire consists of a mix of classical masterworks and operatic arias with tangos, gypsy and folk songs from around the world. They usually play without musical scores and their performances include elements of humour and dance.[1] HistoryQuartetto Gelato was originally formed in 1989 in Toronto;[2][3] the founding members were Cynthia Steljes, her husband Peter De Sotto, George Meanwell and Claudio Vena. They began performing as part of the emerging "new classical" scene, and in 1996 the group was named NPR Performance Today's Debut Artist of the Year. Canadian astronaut Dr. Robert Thirsk took their first two CDs with him during his NASA flight on board the space shuttle Columbia in 1997.[2] By 2007, the ensemble had recorded six albums of music and had sold 150,000 CDs.[2] Quartetto Gelato has changed members over the years. Cynthia Steljes left the group because of ill health and died in 2006.[4] Oboist and multi-instrumentalist Colin Maier joined in 2009,[5] and cellist Liza McLellan joined at about that same time. Alexander Sevastian died suddenly while on tour with the ensemble in Ajijic, Mexico on Friday, February 16, 2018.[6] Cellist Kirk Starkey, and accordionist Charles Cozens joined in May 2018. Quartetto Gelato performs in Canada and internationally,[7][8][2] in recital, as soloists with orchestra, and as guests at classical and crossover concerts.[9] Awards and nominationsIn 1995 Quartetto Gelato was nominated for a Juno Award as Instrumental Artist(s) of the Year; their album Quartetto Gelato was nominated for "Best Classical Album by a Solo or Chamber Ensemble".[10] In 1996 the group was named "Debut Artist of the Year" by NPR Performance Today. In 1999, Quartetto Gelato's La Danza was received two nominations at the Gemini Awards: "Best Photography in a Comedy, Variety, Performing Arts Program or Series", and "Best Editing in a Comedy, Variety, Performing Arts Program or Series". In 2005, the show Canada Day 2004: Merci Montréal, in which the group participated, was nominated for "Best Performance or Host in a Variety Program or Series'" at the Gemini Awards.
