SUMMARY:Coastal Concerts presents Cuarteto Latinoamericano
DESCRIPTION:“… one of the world’s most renowned string quartets and the  \nleading proponent of Latin American music for the genre….” \n\nCuarteto Latinoamericano is one of the world’s most renowned string quartets and\, for forty years\, the leading proponent of Latin American music for the genre. Founded in Mexico in 1982\, the Cuarteto has toured extensively around the world\, and premiered over a hundred works written for them. Winners of two Latin Grammy Award for Best Classical Album\, they also have been awarded with the prestigious Diapason d’Or\, have been recognized with the Mexican Music Critics Association Award\, and have received three “Most Adventurous Programming” Awards from Chamber Music America/ASCAP. \n​ \nCuarteto Latinoamericano’s members are three Bitrán brothers: violinists Saul and Aron and cellist Alvaro\, with violist Javier Montiel. They have recorded more than 100 CDs\, including nearly the entire Latin American repertoire for string quartet. \nFormed in Mexico in 1982\, Cuarteto Latinoamericano was\, from 1987 until 2008\, quartet-in-residence at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. Under the auspices of the Sistema Nacional de Orquestas Juveniles of Venezuela\, the Cuarteto created the Latin American Academy for String Quartets\, based in Caracas\, which was active between 2008 and 2014. The Academy served as a training ground for five select young string quartets from the Sistema\, groups which went on to lead active international careers.  \n​ \nIn their own words … \nIndividually\, we are Saul\, Aron and Alvaro Bitran\, and Javier Montiel. Together\, we are known as the Cuarteto Latinoamericano. Our audiences have lots of questions about us. For example\, whether that big case that we carry with us is a guitarrón. \n​ \nNo\, it’s a cello. And we are not a mariachi band; we don’t play with ponchos or guitars\, despite what many people ask. We know that our name may be a bit misleading\, but there are reasons for it: not only do we hail from Latin America\, but mainly\, we have made an almost forty-year-long career by mostly playing concert music by composers from countries South of the Rio Bravo. This music “the music of our continent” is as varied as its culture\, its geography\, its food and history. Some of these composers undoubtedly draw from Latin America’s rich popular music tradition\, while others write music that sounds universal\, and could have been written anywhere in the world. Having said that\, it does seem that a lot of the Latin American repertoire prominently features rhythm (or so we are told).

This is how this music\, which we have recorded on over 80 CDs\, has gotten us many awards\, such as two Latin Grammys\, multiple Grammy nominations\, and the coveted Diapason d’Or in France\, among others and has brought us to renowned halls such as the Teatro alla Scala in Milan\, Carnegie Hall\, the Concertgebouw and other marvelous concert venues in Israel\, China\, Japan\, New Zealand\, and practically all of Europe and the Americas. \n​ \nThis is how\, until this very day we continue to travel the world with our beloved scores by Villa-Lobos\, Revueltas\, Ginastera\, Piazzolla and many other great Latin American masters in our briefcases.

SUMMARY:Cuarteto Latinoamericano
DESCRIPTION:“… one of the world’s most renowned string quartets and the  \nleading proponent of Latin American music for the genre….” \nCuarteto Latinoamericano is one of the world’s most renowned string quartets and\, for forty years\, the leading proponent of Latin American music for the genre. Founded in Mexico in 1982\, the Cuarteto has toured extensively around the world\, and premiered over a hundred works written for them. Winners of two Latin Grammy Award for Best Classical Album\, they also have been awarded with the prestigious Diapason d’Or\, have been recognized with the Mexican Music Critics Association Award\, and have received three “Most Adventurous Programming” Awards from Chamber Music America/ASCAP. \n​ \nCuarteto Latinoamericano’s members are three Bitrán brothers: violinists Saul and Aron and cellist Alvaro\, with violist Javier Montiel. They have recorded more than 100 CDs\, including nearly the entire Latin American repertoire for string quartet. \nFormed in Mexico in 1982\, Cuarteto Latinoamericano was\, from 1987 until 2008\, quartet-in-residence at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. Under the auspices of the Sistema Nacional de Orquestas Juveniles of Venezuela\, the Cuarteto created the Latin American Academy for String Quartets\, based in Caracas\, which was active between 2008 and 2014. The Academy served as a training ground for five select young string quartets from the Sistema\, groups which went on to lead active international careers.  \n​ \nIn their own words … \nIndividually\, we are Saul\, Aron and Alvaro Bitran\, and Javier Montiel. Together\, we are known as the Cuarteto Latinoamericano. Our audiences have lots of questions about us. For example\, whether that big case that we carry with us is a guitarrón. \n​ \nNo\, it’s a cello. And we are not a mariachi band; we don’t play with ponchos or guitars\, despite what many people ask. We know that our name may be a bit misleading\, but there are reasons for it: not only do we hail from Latin America\, but mainly\, we have made an almost forty-year-long career by mostly playing concert music by composers from countries South of the Rio Bravo. This music “the music of our continent” is as varied as its culture\, its geography\, its food and history. Some of these composers undoubtedly draw from Latin America’s rich popular music tradition\, while others write music that sounds universal\, and could have been written anywhere in the world. Having said that\, it does seem that a lot of the Latin American repertoire prominently features rhythm (or so we are told). But\, in any case\, our only criterion for selecting our Latin American repertoire is its artistic quality. \n​ \nOf course\, like any budding string quartet\, in the distant year of 1982 in Mexico City\, we started with Mozart\, Beethoven\, Brahms\, Borodin\, Ravel\, etc. But soon thereafter we began to discover the wonderful repertoire awaiting us in our own neck of the woods and\, in parallel\, we found out that it was very much appreciated in different parts of the world. This is how this music\, which we have recorded on over 80 CDs\, has gotten us many awards\, such as two Latin Grammys\, multiple Grammy nominations\, and the coveted Diapason d’Or in France\, among others and has brought us to renowned halls such as the Teatro alla Scala in Milan\, Carnegie Hall\, the Concertgebouw and other marvelous concert venues in Israel\, China\, Japan\, New Zealand\, and practically all of Europe and the Americas. \n​ \nThis is how\, until this very day we continue to travel the world with our beloved scores by Villa-Lobos\, Revueltas\, Ginastera\, Piazzolla and many other great Latin American masters in our briefcases. Sometimes we wonder ourselves how it is even possible to have lasted for so many years together. We think we owe this to several factors\, not least among them good luck.

SUMMARY:Help with Village Volunteers!!
DESCRIPTION:Share your time\, your skills\, your way.\n  \nIf our members are the Village’s heart\, our volunteers are the Village’s soul.\nThose volunteers give selflessly of their time\, their talents\, and their compassion in order to serve their neighbors and nurture a vibrant community of support for older adults in Sussex County\, Delaware. \n  \nOur volunteers are also incredibly loyal. Many are members themselves. Many have been with the Village since it began operations in 2013. And part of that loyalty is due to the fact that the Village encourages volunteers to choose the services they enjoy and their availability schedule. \nAnd volunteering has its own rewards! In a survey by the United Health Group: \n\n96% of volunteers say their efforts give them a richer sense of purpose in life.\n95% say volunteering makes their community a better place.\n94% say it improves their mood\, and 78% say it lowers their stress levels.\n\nOurs is a proactive\, data-based approach that balances supply and demand through sophisticated demographic mapping. Members can count on volunteers who are reliable neighbors. And volunteers can count on service requests that reflect their own schedules and interests. \nLearn about volunteer opportunities \nAll info and more at the website: https://villagevolunteer.org/content.aspx?page_id=22&club_id=492141&module_id=148131
