Telluride will get tan opportunity to experience the incredible soundscape of four cellos. The. happening takes place March 19 at the Michael D. Palm Theatre, in a concert presented by Telluride Chamber Music and Palm Arts.

The Galvin Cello Quartet burst onto the chamber music scene after capturing the Silver Medal at the 2021 Fischoff Competition followed by another win at the 2022 Victor Elmaleh Competition and earning a place on the Concert Artists Guild roster.
With members from Brazil, South Korea, and the United States, the Quartet takes its name from the Mary B. Galvin Recital Hall at Northwestern University’s Bienen School of Music, where three of its members – Sydney Lee, Haddon Kay, and Luiz Fernando Venturelli – met as students in the studio of acclaimed pedagogue Hans Jørgen Jensen.
In June of 2024, the Quartet welcomed James Baik, another former student of Jensen, as its newest member.
The group’s vibrant international spirit and exceptional virtuosity reflects its artistic mission to bring together new works from diverse cultural backgrounds and dazzle audiences with the cello’s limitless capabilities. Recent highlights include performances and educational residencies at Rockport Music Festival, Bravo! Vail, Ravinia, Ascent International Cello Festival, Merkin Hall, and a reappearance at Newport Classical.
“The Quartet’s cellists are brilliant instrumentalists and thoughtful musicians individually, but their renditions as a group are glorious.”-Arnold Steinhardt, violinist, Guarneri String Quartet.
