Four male musicians who are part of the music group Quarteto Nuevo pose together in a bright, minimalist setting. Two members are seated in front, with two standing behind them. They hold their instruments: a cello, two guitars or similar string instruments, and what appears to be a woodwind instrument. All are dressed in dark clothing.

Quarteto Nuevo featuring Damon Zick, Jacob Szekely, Kenton Youngstrom, and Felipe Fraga will perform Oct. 25 as part of the S. Rudolph Alexander Performing Arts Series.
