Cuarteto Latinoamericano
The Robert G. Boehmler Community Foundation Series welcomed the renowned Cuarteto Latinoamericano to the School of Music, Theatre, and Dance in early 2020, but, after a wonderful masterclass with our students, their planned concert the following evening was cancelled due to a snow storm. We are thrilled to have them back in our concert hall for a now-long-awaited recital.

Cuarteto Latinoamericano (brothers Saúl, Arón, and Álvaro Bitrán on violin and cello, and Javier Montiel on viola) is one of the world's most renowned classical music ensembles, for more than thirty years the leading proponent of Latin American music for string quartet. 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 more than a hundred works written for them and they continue to introduce new and neglected composers to the genre. Winners of the 2012 and 2016 Latin Grammys for Best Classical Recordings, they have been recognized with the Mexican Music Critics Association Award and three times received Chamber Music America/ASCAP's "Most Adventurous Programming" Award.
Sunday's concert will feature pieces by Mozart, Schubert, and Villa-Lobos, as well as Mexico's Domingo Lobato and Argentina's Carlos Gardel.
The concert is FREE and open to the public. More information, including the artist bio and the full concert program, can be found at ithaca.edu/music/events.
