With the goal of offering a permanent place for chamber music, the “Cuarteto de Clarinetes de Bogotá” was created in 2015. Besides its intense concert schedule performing in important venues in South America, U.S. and Europe, the goal of the CCB has been to commission and perform original compositions written by Colombian and Latin American composers. Its existence is based on the friendship of its members; all very accomplished performers of the most renowned orchestrasr and chamber music ensembles of Colombia. Moreover, the musicians of CCB teach at different high education institutions in Colombia.

CCB’s latest project consists in a CD, which includes pieces by Samuel Torres, Gustavo Parra, Jorge Pinzón and Mauricio Murcia, among others.
