The "Aires de México" /Ensamble Clásico/ String Quartet was formed in January 1991 in Guadalajara, México. Its aim was to perform and promote the vast classical string quartet repertoire as well as interpreting a great variety of Mexican music. The quartet quickly rose to prominence and is now considered Jalisco's finest chamber music ensemble.

The Quartet's members, who come from México, the Ukraine, and Romania, make the city of Guadalajara their current musical home. Their diverse origins bring an exciting and unique mix of musical and cultural backgrounds to the group.

The "Aires de México" /Ensamble Clásico/ String Quartet has become an important voice on the Jalisco cultural scene.

* Sava Latsánich - Violín

* Iurii Kasian - Viola

* Ramón Becerra - Cello

With a repertoire which draws from the traditional classics, contemporary music, new Mexican compositions and popular genres as well, "Aires de México" /Ensamble Clásico/ breaks barriers between old and new, classical and popular.

Selections of Mexican popular music in classical style form an important part of the Quartet’s repertoire. These are special arrangements for string quartet by the group’s own musicians.
