The Virginia Tech Department of Music presents Ensamble Quito 6 as the resident ensemble for Virginia Tech's first annual Congress on Latin American Music. Their performance, which is open to the public, for the conference will be held in the Squires Recital Salon on Saturday, February 23rd.

Established in 2004, Ecuador’s “Ensamble Quito 6” consists of six professional musicians who individually have been acclaimed for the quality and consistency of their musical accomplishments. The goal of this group is to investigate and disseminate the traditional, classical and contemporary music of Ecuador through compositions and arrangements that have been specifically created for this ensemble of violin, cello, bass, flute, clarinet, and piano.

Jorge Oviedo, the director of the group, is a composer who has received national as well as international recognition.
