The members of the Cuarteto Alegre met in Martha Rodriguez’ Latin Vocal Workshop. Two of us, Genie and John, started to sing duets, then Andy and Ralph joined to make us a full quartet. John Kyrk is our fifth and most important member, our accompanist extraordinaire. We’ve been singing together for almost three years and gave our first concert at CMC last year about this time.
We sing Spanish music, old, new, Latin American, and Spanish, but we have fallen in love with the music of the Argentinian Carlos Guastavino (1912-2000), a prolific writer of songs and chamber music. This second annual concert is all Guastavino, including solo songs, a sonata and an exciting set of six songs for four voice, (Indianas), that tell poetic tales of love and of the harsh beauty of the Pampas.
