Steluţa ("little star"in Romanian) is a Victoria-based quartet playing a constellation of musical styles from Balkan and Eastern European folk dances, to a bit of Celtic, to some distinctive original tunes with a splash of classical influence.
This stellar quartet features: Martina Peladeau (flutes, recorders, voice) who studied in Germany and later became the sound of West Coast flute on the rocky shores outside of the Wickaninnish Inn in Tofino; Kate Rhodes (violin, viola, accordion, voice) who played in the Vancouver, Winnipeg, and Victoria symphonies, and brings a flair of virtuosity to the group’s repertoire; Douglas Hensley (guitars, oud, composer) who plays Renaissance to Persian to Classical and is a guitar instructor at the Victoria Conservatory of Music; and Alex Olson (basses, mandolins, percussion, composer ) who is also a long-time Victoria Symphony member and a veteran of many local folk ensembles.
