About this event

The Cuarteto Quiroga, one of the Spanish chamber ensembles which have forged an international reputation in recent years, make their first appearance at the Torroella Festival with a programme of Spanish and Latin-American music including one of the best quartets by the Basque composer, Juan Crisóstomo Arriaga. They will also perform the expressive miniatures that are the eight “tientos” by the Madrid composer, Rodolfo Halffter, and the extraordinary First Quartet by the Argentine, Alberto Ginastera, a gem of Latin-American chamber music.
