Montana Quartet

Based in Adelaide, the Montana Quartet was formed in 2024 at the Elder Conservatorium of Music and currently comprises of violinists Sarah Chiu and Sofia Tortorelli, violist Sterling Rieck and cellist Rowan Parr. The quartet has had the privilege of working closely with esteemed chamber ensembles such as the Australian String Quartet and the Takács Quartet, as well as Elder Conservatorium faculty members Edith Salzmann, Elizabeth Layton and Stephen King. Members of the group have also been featured as emerging artists at the Mimir Chamber Music Festival in the USA and the International Akaroa Music Festival in New Zealand. Dedicated to artistic excellence, the Montana Quartet offers a fresh and dynamic approach to traditional and contemporary repertoire. They perform regularly in both Melbourne and Adelaide, engaging the musical community in both cities.
