Since their first appearance at Toronto’s Harbourfront venue in the summer of 1993, Quartette has quickly become one of the most electrifying collaborations on the Canadian music scene. The four women, Cindy Church, Caitlin Hanford, Gwen Swick and Sylvia Tyson combine formidable individual talents into an astonishing whole. The soaring harmonies and unique arrangements create a musical mosaic with flavors of folk, country, swing and bluegrass all solidly rooted in traditional music.
