Quinteto Latino is a San Francisco Bay Area classical wind quintet melding the vibrant colors and vigorous rhythms of Latin American music with the sumptuous voices of the wind quintet. Founded in 2004, the ensemble is devoted to expanding the boundaries of classical music through performance and advocacy of work exclusively created by Latinx composers. Their commissioning, mentoring, and educational initiatives are focused on accessibility & relevancy of BIPOC classical music in pursuit of inspiring audiences across cultural, class, and ethnic lines. Commissioning new work by Latinx artists is integral to Quinteto Latino’s effort in diversifying the wind quintet repertoire.
This FREE community matinee, “Raices de Nuestra Musica/Our Musical Roots,” dives into traditional Latin music and explores native songs, music, and languages from five countries represented on stage. This is an interactive musical journey, where audience members learn about the art of wind instruments and engage with artists on stage through rhythm, melody, and repetition.
While this event is free, registration is required.
