GLASTONBURY, Conn. - March 23, 2020 - PRLog -- The Cuatro Puntos Ensemble, a chamber music group with beginnings in Glastonbury, is returning to their place of origin for a concert of chamber music standards for string quintet. Cuatro Puntos Ensemble (Aaron Packard & Annie Trépanier, violins; Steve Larson & Kevin Bishop, violas; Allan Ballinger, cello) has toured around the world, recorded numerous critically acclaimed albums, been heard on NPR, BBC, and several movie soundtracks.
