From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cuarteto Latinoamericano is a celebrated string quartet from Latin America. They tour extensively in Europe, the Americas and New Zealand. The recipient of a prestigious Mexican Music Critics Association award in 1983 and “most adventurous programming" awards from CMA/ASCAP in 1997, 1999 and 2000, the group has introduced more than a hundred works written for them and has participated in over a hundred world premiers. They have recorded over forty cds, which include the complete works for quartet by Heitor Villa-Lobos, Silvestre Revueltas, Alberto Ginastera, Rodolfo Halffter, Carlos Chávez, Manuel M. Ponce, Julian Orbon, and many other Latin American composers. Their sixth, and final, album of Hector Villa-Lobos's string quartets, Quartets Nos. 4, 9 and 11, was nominated for two Grammy Awards (Best Chamber Music and Best Latin Music) in 2002.

Cuarteto Latinoamericano has performed with classical guitarist Manuel Barrueco. In 2006, they commissioned and premiered Bay of Pigs by Michael Daugherty.
