“As performers, the members of Quinteto Latino have a solid and confident sound. They were as comfortable with Hurtado’s ambitious ventures into new sonorities as they were with their nostalgic Ponce encore.” - Stephen Smoliar, SF Classical Music Examiner
“It was clear that the wind players, each with a full, warm tone, have spent a great deal of time playing together and have cultivated a collective sensibility…
an exciting and witty piece that showed off the group’s tight interplay and excellent ensemble sense.” – Benjamin Frandzel
“[Quinteto Latino]… is now a successful, complex ensemble making a difference in cultural awareness as well as in multiethnic music education.” – Jessica Hilo, interview in the San Francisco Classical Voice
