“…marvelous virtuosity..."
The Washington Post
The Alturas Duo has been recognized as one of the most engaging ensembles performing in the chamber music world today. The only group of its kind, the Alturas Duo was formed with the idea of playing South American and classical music by bringing together the unusual combination of the viola, charango, and guitar, and in doing so, creating passionate music that moves at ease between the Baroque, South American folk rhythms, and new pieces written especially for the duo.
The 2009-10 concert season will see the duo maintaining a busy schedule of concerts, master classes and lectures in Canada, the United States, Puerto Rico, Bolivia, and Brazil. They will collaborate with flutists Jessica Warren-Acosta and James Strauss, as well as with Coral Cantigas of Washington, D.C., the New Haven Chorale, the Crescendo Choir, and the Waterbury Symphony.
The Alturas Duo took first prize at the 2006 New England International Chamber Music Competition, and recently won the 2009 Chamber Music America/American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers Award for adventurous programming.
