The chill of January is offset by the warm breezes of Latin America in this captivating program by the renowned Cuarteto Latinoamericano. With a 40-year pedigree as an ensemble, this quartet of luminaries has acclaimed the world over for their interpretations of both the Latin American greats and staples of the European canon. In their "Latin American Miniatures" program, you will be transported from the sensual slow dances of Argentina to the invigorating rhythms of Puerto Rico. Featuring well-known favorites by Carlos Gardel and Piazzolla as well as contemporary works written for the quartet, this distinguished ensemble's program demonstrates what Chamber Music Magazine described as the "technical flair and musical imagination listeners have come to expect."
