The objective of the Student Program of the Festival de Música de Cámara of San
Miguel de Allende is to broaden the horizon of experience and knowledge both
in the world of chamber music and instrumental performance, for all participating
individualsand groups.
More than 1,000 students have benefitted from this experience with some of the
world’s best musicians. The XXX Festival de Música de Cámara invites advanced
level groups, from duos to octets, of strings, piano and winds, as well as advanced
students who apply individually.
For the first time, the Festival de Música de Cámara will invite students from outside Mexico to participate in its Student Program. This is part of the Festival’s plan to expand this program into an
internationally recognized venue for high quality and inspirational musical education.
After a very successful stewardship of the program by the La Catrina String Quartet in 2007, the Festival decided to bring the quartet back to San Miguel for residency during the two weeks of the Festival in 2008

LA CATRINA STRING QUARTET (http://www.lacatrinaquartet.com/)
Founded in 2001, the La Catrina Quartet has a triple mission: to work closely with living composers in order to promote the performance of new music, to promote Mexican and Latin- American art music and to perform the masterworks of the string quartet repertoire. Its members have played as soloists with a variety of orchestras in Mexico and the United States and given recitals in Japan, England, the United States, and Mexico.
Currently the Quartet-in-Residence of the Western Piedmont Symphony, as well as the Festival de Musica de Camara de San Miguel de Allende, the La Catrina Quartet has already given multiple world premieres of works written for them, such as "Our Hands Were Tightly Clenched", a string quartet by composer Zae Munn, published by Arsis Press and premiered by them in 2003 at Chicago’s College of Performing Arts.
They have recorded works by Mexican composer Germán Romero, under the Quindecim label, and collaborated with several other artists, including a recording of Mozart’s clarinet quintet with renowned Cuban clarinetist Alfredo Valdés-Brito.
