According to co-founder and oboist Cynthia Steljes, the name Quartetto Gelato, or “Cream Quartet,” reflects the Toronto-based ensemble’s classical discipline and musical range. “Travels on the Orient Express” reflects that, including pieces such as Ravel’s “Tombeau de Couperin” and Edith Piaf’s “La Vie en Rose” as well as operatic arias, gypsy music, folk songs and tangos.
