Dali Quartet

The critically acclaimed Dalí Quartet brought the excitement of its signature mix of Latin American and European classical and romantic music to the WRTI 90.1 Performance Studio on Wednesday, May 23, 2018.  They performed LIVE and chatted with WRTI’s Susan Lewis. ?

Founded in 2004, the quartet of musicians from Venezuela, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. has been embraced by critics and audiences for its vibrant combination of music with classical roots and Latin soul.  The Dali Quartet tours, records and is the anchor for ArCoNet, an expanding network of cross-cultural music education programs just outside Philadelphia.

Members of the quartet include:
Domenic Salerni, First Violin
Carlos Rubio, Second Violin

Anchored in Venezuela's El Sistema and American classical conservatory traditions, the quartet is internationally acclaimed for its stirring and evocative performances. Based in Philadelphia, the quartet brings the Latin-Classical connection to festivals, schools, and concert halls throughout the Americas.
