Comprised of musicians from Venezuela, the Bronx, and New Jersey— The Sweet Plaintain String Quartet hope to stretch the boundaries of their genre. The group's mission is to present urban and Latino sounds, and its repertoire ranges from John Coltrane to A Tribe Called Quest to living composers such as Paquito D’Rivera. The quartet performs live in our studio.
