ALTURAS DUO

  • C

    CT

Institution/Business Type: Performing Group

Praised by The Washington Post as playing with "marvelous virtuosity," Alturas Duo is recognized as one of the most engaging ensembles performing chamber music today. Bringing together the worlds of South American folk, western classical, and contemporary music, guitarist Scott Hill and violist and charango player Carlos Boltes have performed throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe as well as Central and South America to great acclaim. As Christopher Zimmerman, Music Director of the Fairifax Symphony notes, "Scott Hill and Carlos Boltes as the Alturas Duo are the quintessential 21st century artists."
