The ARMADILLO STRING QUARTET of Canada was founded in 1993 at the University of British Columbia. Since then, original members, David Glavina and Nancy Enns, have established the quartet's international reputation by touring and performing on six continents. During their travels, they have developed an eclectic repertoire with broad appeal, including American jazz standards, Broadway show tunes, Gypsy melodies, international folk songs, as well as music of the Baroque, Classical and Romantic periods. Members of the quartet hold masters degrees and artiste diplomas from various institutes and have appeared with orchestras and festivals accross Canada. The Quartet has produced a CD, "UNCHARTED - Music from Around the World", a unique collage of music which the quartet has collected 'en route'. Some pieces are traditional classics while others are simple folk melodies that have been passed on to the quartet by friends and fellow musicians they've met in various ports of call. The distinctive arrangements of jazz and fiddle tunes are audience favorites and were written specifically for The Armadillo String Quartet. This young, dynamic quartet has performed for the British Broadcasting Corporation, Maltese National Television, the American television program 'Entertainment Tonight', and in the Motion Picture 'Baywatch - White Thunder in Glacier Bay'. The quartet has enjoyed huge popularity entertaining audiences worldwide." |
