With their unique instrumentation—soprano saxophone, alto flute, cello, guitar, and hand percussion—Quarteto Nuevo merges western classical, eastern European folk, Latin, and jazz with an organic feel that packs a wallop! The ensemble’s razor-sharp precision is enhanced by jazzy interludes, lightly rumbling percussion motifs, and mesmerizing rhythms.
“Deftly weaving between jazzy improvisation and syncopations that surprise and delight, these four musicians are truly a symphony unto themselves.” Montana Public Radio
PROGRAM: “World Fusion”
Quarteto Nuevo’s program effectively melds the music of ancient worlds and faraway places with a contemporary groove. Their unique instrumentation richly colors their wide-ranging repertoire, from Heitor Villa-Lobos to Chick Corea to traditional Macedonian works to original compositions.
