Cuarteto Latinoamericano
Saúl Bitrán, Violin Arón Bitrán, Violin

Cuarteto Latinoamericano was formed in Mexico in 1981 by three brothers; violinists Saúl and Arón, and 'cellist Alvaro Bitrán with violist, Javier Montiel. Two years later they were awarded the prize of the Music Critics Association in Mexico. Despite a busy concert schedule, the quartet has a special interest in teaching, having taught a whole generation of Mexican string players, and teaching presently at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, where they have been Quartet-in-Residence since 1987. They're also the resident quartet at the San Miguel de Allende Chamber Music Festival in Mexico and at the Summerfest in Pittsburgh. (April 1994)
