Cuarteto Latinoamericano to perform at the School of Music this FridayContributed by Molly Windover on 02/01/20 Cuarteto Latinoamericano is one of the world's most renowned string quartets and, for over thirty-five years, the leading proponent of Latin American music for the genre. Founded in Mexico in 1982, the Cuarteto has toured extensively throughout Europe, North and South America, Israel, China, Japan and New Zealand. They have premiered over a hundred works written for them, and they continue to introduce new and neglected composers to the genre. On the program: Quartet No. 5 Heitor Villa-Lobos (1887-1959) Four for Tango Astor Piazzolla (1921-1992) La Calaca Gabriela Ortiz (b. 1964) String Quartet No. 14 "Death and the Maiden" Franz Schubert (1797-1828)
The Cuarteto will also give a master class on Thursday, February 6 at 7:00 p.m. in the Hockett Family Recital Hall. The concert and master class are both free and open to the public.
