LACA NEWS RELEASE

The Los Angeles Guitar Quartet returns to Los Alamos for a performance presented by the Los
Alamos Concert Association at 3 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 10.

This Grammy-winning quartet has long set the standard for guitar ensembles. The New York
Times called a recent performance “revelatory,” and the Los Angeles Times praised their
“…unrivaled joy, technical élan, and questing spirit.”

The quartet’s critically acclaimed transcriptions of concert masterworks provide a fresh look at
the music of the past, while their interpretations of works from the contemporary and world-
music realms continually break new ground.

Their program in Los Alamos, entitled From Bach to Brazil, will feature works by Bach,
Beethoven, Copeland, and five Brazilian composers including Douglas Lora, the newest
member of the ensemble.

The concert will take place in the Duane Smith Auditorium located at 1300 Diamond Drive on
the campus of Los Alamos High School.

Tickets ($35) are available electronically at http://www.losalamosconcert.org, in Los Alamos at the
Fuller Lodge Arts Center and at Smith’s in Los Alamos and White Rock. Tickets for young
people ages 6-18 are free.
