The Caribe Quartet's joyous playing captivated the audience from the outset with their energetic and communicative performance of music from Latin America, with its infectious rhythms and vibrant colours. Their superb performance explored this oft-neglected repertoire with aplomb, leaving us all tapping our feet!
