The Belinfante Quartet is delighted to present their brand new album PARALLEL 40 at The Glad Cafe in Glasgow, featuring music and stories from all around the world.

Growing up on the island of Menorca, cellist Pau learned about a concept which made a big impression on him: the 40th Parallel North – “An imaginary line connecting Menorca to faraway places in the World.”

PARALLEL 40 is an ode to discovery and connection, collecting and arranging music from many different countries and regions found along the 40th Parallel North. Starting in Menorca and heading east, for a full turn around the globe, we will discover music from Menorca, Italy, Greece, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, North Korea, China, Japan, the USA, Portugal and Spain.

Let us take you on a musical journey to far and distant places and discover new sounds you’ve never heard before.
