Quarteto Nuevo

Patricia Reser Center for the Arts
With their unique instrumentation—soprano saxophone, alto flute, cello, guitar, and hand percussion—Quarteto Nuevo 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.
“Deftly weaving between jazzy improvisation and syncopations that surprise and delight, these four musicians are truly a symphony unto themselves.” Montana Public Radio
