Cuarteto Latinoamericano is a renowned string quartet that has been at the forefront of classical Latin American music since their formation in 1982. Composed of three Bitrán siblings—Saúl and Arón on violins, and Álvaro on cello—along with violist Javier Montiel, the quartet has dedicated its career to performing and promoting the string quartet repertoire of Latin America. Distinctively, they have combined traditional string quartet discipline with their vibrant Latin American heritage, achieving a unique blend that has been celebrated worldwide.

Over their prolific career, Cuarteto Latinoamericano has garnered an international reputation, winning the Latin Grammy Award for Best Classical Album in 2012, and continuing to charm audiences with their spirited performances. Their impressive discography frequently includes world premieres of works written for them, reflecting their commitment to contemporary composers and their influence in shaping the musical landscape. Additionally, their educational efforts through masterclasses and residencies have made significant contributions to the development of classical music in their native region and beyond. With their most recent releases like "Miguel del Aguila: Piano Quintets" and “Cuarteto Latinoamericano 40 Años,” they celebrate both their longevity and their unending passion for exploration and collaboration within the classical genre.
