Germany's Eliot Quartett is returning to British Columbia and Ontario after two years. The Quartett was founded in 2014 and has become one of the most engaging string quartets of itsgeneration. Hailing from Canada, Germany and Russia, the quartet’s members formed the group inFrankfurt am Main and have since gone on to win prizes at major national and international musiccompetitions, including second prize at both the Mozart International Competition in Salzburg and theMelbourne International Chamber Music Competition and the Prize of the German Music Competition.
