Joining tradition and innovation, the The Toomai String Quintet brings a fresh, global perspective to chamber music. Known for its dynamic arrangements and commitment to expanding Latin American string repertoire, this award-winning ensemble delivers electrifying performances that bridge cultures and genres. From Cuban danzón to Brazilian choro, the group’s sound is as adventurous as it is refined. Tonight's performance at Barbès features music by Hermeto Pascoal, Chiquinha Gonzaga, Tania León, Leo Brouwer, Isaac Albéniz, and more.
