La Catrina String Quartet Since its founding in 2007, La Catrina String Quartet (LCSQ) has been recognized as the new vanguard for contemporary Latin American string quartet repertoire.

Hailed by Yo-Yo Ma as ''wonderful ambassadors for Latin American music,'' LCSQ members are from Mexico with Daniel Vega-Albela and Simn Gollo, violins Jorge Martnez-Ros, viola Jorge Espinoza, cello.
