World Premiere of Yalil Guerra’s String Quartet No. 4 “Noches de España” in Los Angeles

Pasadena, CA, October 01, 2025 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Composer and Latin GRAMMY® Award winner Yalil Guerra will unveil his latest work, String Quartet No. 4 “Noches de España,” at a concert by the Hispano String Quartet in Los Angeles. The performance marks the world premiere of the piece, which draws on Spanish musical traditions and contemporary chamber writing.

The event, scheduled as part of Hispanic Heritage Month celebrations, will present four premieres in total: two world premieres and two U.S. premieres. Alongside Guerra’s work, the program includes compositions by Giovanni Piacentini (Mexico), Alejandro Román (Spain), and Tomás Peire Serrate (Spain).

Guerra described Noches de España as a tribute to Spain’s cultural heritage, combining rhythmic vitality with lyrical expression. “I wanted to celebrate the timeless beauty of Spain—its nights, its poetry, its music—and translate that into a modern string quartet,” he said in advance of the premiere.

Founded by Guerra, the Hispano String Quartet specializes in the performance of works by Hispanic and Latin American composers. The ensemble aims to highlight diverse voices often underrepresented in the classical repertoire.

The concert underscores Los Angeles’ role as a hub for new music and cross-cultural dialogue, bringing together contemporary voices from across the Hispanic world.
