A thrilling fusion of cultures and sounds! Quarteto Nuevo weaves together jazz, classical, Latin, and Eastern European folk traditions into a vibrant, contemporary groove. With saxophone, cello, guitar, and percussion, the ensemble creates sonic landscapes that are at once ancient and modern, familiar and surprising. A mesmerizing evening of world music at its most inventive.
Quarteto Nuevo’s World Fusion program 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. They effectively meld the music of ancient worlds and faraway places with a contemporary groove that enchants audiences of all ages! Quarteto Nuevo’s master musicians create emotionally-charged soundscapes with instruments and sensibilities that represent very different world cultures. Their unique instrumentation – soprano saxophone/woodwinds (Damon Zick), cello (Jacob Szekely), guitar (Kenton Youngstrom) and hand percussion (Felipe Fraga) – richly colors their wide-ranging repertoire, from Heitor Villa-Lobos’ “Bachianas Brasileiras” and Chick Corea’s “Children’s Song No.6” to traditional Macedonian “Gadjarsko” and original works “Hector, Desmond and Titus”, “Rain Song” and “Dizer O Que”.
