Following concerts in the USA following the Quartet’s residency at University of Colorado in 2012-14, and in 2018 in Wellington NZ for the New Zealand Festival, in July 2019 the Orava Quartet toured to Canada for three summer music festivals and a reception at Australia House, Ottawa, hosted by the Australian High Commissioner for Canada, Her Excellency Natasha Smith.
Warmly received with standing ovations at every performance, Orava Quartet remains deeply grateful for the generous support of private donors through Cultural Partnerships Australia via the Australian Cultural Fund, and a grant from the Australia Council for the Arts, without which this tour would not have been possible.
