Welcoming Shabbat with Adon Olam by Mexican Cuarteto Latinoamericano

Today's Welcoming Shabbat video comes from Mexico, in a concert by Cuarteto Latinoamericano and soprano Sivan Rotem.

The string quartet is one of the world's most renowned classical music ensembles, for more than thirty years the leading proponent of Latin American music for string quartet. 

Founded in Mexico in 1982, the quartet has toured extensively throughout Europe, North and South America, Israel, China, Japan and New Zealand. They have premiered more than a hundred works written for them and they continue to introduce new and neglected composers to the genre. 

Winners of the 2012 and 2016 Latin Grammys for Best Classical Recordings, they have been recognized with the Mexican Music Critics Association Award and three times received Chamber Music America/ASCAP's "Most Adventurous Programming" Award.

The soloist in this version of Adon Olam is Sivan Rotem, an Argentinian-born Israeli whose burgeoning career in opera, concerts, recitals, radio, television, cabaret, commercial recordings and master classes has taken her across the Americas via the West Indies and many continental European countries to Egypt, South Africa, China and Australia.

Enjoy, and Shabbat shalom!
