Enjoy an Afternoon of Impassioned Chamber Music
CLEVELAND (Jan. 19, 2004) —The Cleveland Museum of Art (CMA) presents one of the most
exhilarating quartets to recently come out of Latin America. Quarteto José White, will perform in the Museum’s
Gartner Auditorium on Sunday, Jan. 25, at 2:30 p.m. as part of the acclaimed Musart Matinée Series.
Admission to this performance is free.
Quarteto José White was the first prize winner of the 2000 Mexican Premio Nacional De Musica de
Camara, Mexico’s leading international chamber music competition.
The group chose their name as a tribute to José White, indisputably Cuba’s greatest violinist of the l9th
and 20th centuries and the only Latin violinist to have a world-class career based in Europe. The quartet performs
works by Hadyn and Debussy as well as rarely heard works by Latin American composers. The quartet has an
intense dedication to chamber music and a unique talent of blending classical and Latin music to form an original
and spirited sound.
The next performance in the Musart Series will be the marcolivia duo, on Feb. 8, at 2:30 p.m. in
CMA’s Gartner Auditorium. Violinist Marc Ramirez and Olivia Hajioff together form the violin and violin/viola
duo, marcolivia. The husband and wife duo has toured extensively around the world and will offer works by
Bartók, Martinu, Takemitsu and Wieniawski at their Cleveland debut.

Museum and Library Services.
