Review for the Dali Quartet:
Carlos Rubio, Dali Quartet’s 2nd violinist, notes: "We love to imagine that European composers of the past, as creative and curious artists, would have been fascinated by the sounds of Latin American composers who followed them. There's joy and common understanding in all types of music and musical storytelling should be as unique and colorful as the performers. In our modern global society, we strive to honor the masters of the past while celebrating our rich, and shared, heritage with audiences."
The Dali Quartet includes Dominic Salerni, violin; Carlos Rubio, violin; Adriana Linares, viola; Jesús Morales, cello and brings its signature mix of Latin American, Classical and Romantic repertoire to a wide range of stages and audiences. The quartet’s passionate energy is poured into everything they do, generating critical and audience acclaim for their exciting programs that takes listeners on an eclectic journey of rhythm and sound.
Trained by world-renowned artists, members of the Dalí Quartet are from Venezuela, Puerto Rico and the US; and their tours include appearances in distinguished concert halls and chamber music series throughout the U.S., Canada and South America.
