In this article some insights into the classical music concert of the Havana String Quartet, Jerez and its surroundings.

The Havana String Quartet is composed of Yamir Portuondo (1st Violin), Eugenio Valdés (2 nd Violin), Jorge Hernandez (Viola) and Deborah Yamak (Cello), the quartet was founded in 1980 by the initiative of maestro Leo Brouwer, with the primary aim of tackling the Latin American chamber music repertoire and to spread the international contemporary literature.

In their resume, collaborations with leading interpreters of the music world, take up a preeminent place. Some examples are: Leo Brouwer, Elliot Fisk, Pepe Romero and Javier Perianes, making flamenco with "El Pele" and Latin jazz with the Buena Vista Social Club.

Their diverse repertoire ranges from Haydn, Mozart, Dvorak and Ravel to Toon de Leeuw, I.Lang, Webern, Barce, Villa-Rojo and T. Marco. It shows, however, a natural preference to Latin American authors such as Revueltas, Ginastera, Villa-Lobos, Manuel Enriquez and Garrido-Leca.

The Havana  String Quartet, holder of the Interpretive Master Award, at the  Chamber Music Festival of Havana 1987, made records for the Cuban firm EGREM and for radio and television in European, Asian and Latin American countries.
