A string performance celebrating the beauty and diversity of Latin American music.

Founded in Mexico, this world-renowned classical music ensemble centers composers from countries south of the Rio Bravo, including beloved scores by Villa-Lobos, Revueltas, Ginastera and Piazzolla. With a focus on repertoire of exceptional rhythm and quality, Cuarteto Latinoamericano celebrates Latin American music that is as varied as its culture, geography and history, including a new Hop commissioned work by composer Miguel del Aguila.
