La Catrina Quartet2

La Catrina Quartet

Hailed by Yo-Yo Ma as wonderful ambassadors of music, the La Catrina Quartet (LCSQ) is one of the most sought after ensembles on tour today. Their unique blend of Latin-American and standard repertoire has proved enormously entertaining for its diverse audiences, catering to the more traditional concertgoers while also attracting the next generation of listeners. Their infectious personalities infuse their playing, creating truly compelling performances. The La Catrina Quartet has a triple mission: to perform the masterworks of the string quartet repertoire, to promote Latin-American folk and concert music worldwide and to work closely with composers in order to promote the performance of new music.
