Founded in 2015 during the String Quartet Seminar of Cuarteto Latinoamericano, the CHROMA is comprised of members Ilya Ivanov (Violin/Viola), Felix Alanis (Violin/Viola), Carlos Quijano (Violin) and Manuel Cruz (Cello).

They were the top prize winners at the National String Quartet Competition “La Superior” (2017) in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico; the Manuel M. Ponce prize at the Festival de Música de Cámara of Aguascalientes, Mexico; and the first prize at the Mateo Oliva National Chamber Music Competition.

This highly versatile group enjoys delving into many forms and genres of music such as jazz, folk, and electronic. Escenas Dancistica by Alejandro Basulto, winner of the Nuestra America Competition, is dedicated to and performed by the CHROMA.

Quartet Fest West is delighted to host this wonderful group as performers and welcomes them as the Lafayette Quartet’s assistants at the festival this year.
