Summer Music Associates will present the Cuarteto Latinoamericano on Thursday, July 6, at 7 PM, at the First Baptist Church in New London.  Cuareteto Latinoamericano, formed in 1982, is known worldwide as the leading proponent of Latin American music for string quartet.

This award-winning ensemble from Mexico consists of the three Bitrán brothers, violinists Saúl and Arón, and cellist Alvaro, along with violist Javier Montiel. Cuarteto has recorded most of the Latin American repertoire for string quartet, and the sixth volume of their Villa-Lobos 17 quartets cycle was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2002, in the field of Best Chamber Music Recording, as well as for a Latin Grammy Award.

On Thursday, July 27, at 7 PM, also at the First Baptist Church, the dynamic and extraordinarily talented The Moanin’ Frogs saxophone sextet will present Voyage, a program based on the two Golden Records sent in the Voyager spacecraft containing various images, sounds, and music representing the world’s different cultures and eras.

Bending genres and uplifting spirits, The Moanin’ Frogs offer an electrifying approach to chamber music. Conservatory trained and entertainment minded, their dynamic and technically precise performances of classical, ragtime, jazz, and pop delight fans across the world.

Tickets are $25, or $5 for students, and are available online at www.summermusicassociates.org, by phone 603 526-8234, at Morgan Hill Bookstore or Tatewell Gallery in New London, or at the door the evening of the performance.
