Cuarteto Latinoamericano

Cuarteto Latinoamericano is one of the world's most renowned string quartets and, for forty years, the leading proponent of Latin American music for the genre. Founded in Mexico in 1982, the Cuarteto has toured extensively around the world, and premiered over a hundred works written for them. Winners of two Latin Grammy Award for Best Classical Album, they have also been awarded with the prestigious Diapason d'Or, have been recognized with the Mexican Music Critics Association Award, and have received three "Most Adventurous Programming" Awards from Chamber Music America/ASCAP.

Cuarteto Latinoamericano's members are three Bitrán brothers: violinists Saul and Aron and cellist Alvaro, with violist Javier Montiel. They have recorded more than 100 CDs, including nearly the entire Latin American repertoire for string quartet.

Formed in Mexico in 1982, Cuarteto Latinoamericano was, from 1987 until 2008, quartet-in-residence at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. Under the auspices of the Sistema Nacional de Orquestas Juveniles of Venezuela, the Cuarteto created the Latin American Academy for String Quartets, based in Caracas, which was active between 2008 and 2014. The Academy served as a training ground for five select young string quartets from the Sistema, groups that went on to lead active international careers.

Individually, we are Saul, Aron and Alvaro Bitran, and Javier Montiel. Together, we are known as the Cuarteto Latinoamericano. 

Tickets for individual concerts will be available for purchase online at our web site after September 1st, 2024. A limited number of discounted season subscriptions are available for premium and general seating online. Discounted admission for students, active military and first responders are available.
