A string quartet performs the music of Juan Gabriel in a candlelit setting, offering a classical interpretation of the Mexican singer-songwriter’s most beloved songs. Taking place Saturday, August 22 at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral, the concert presents a selection of his repertoire arranged for strings, highlighting the melodic and emotional qualities of his work. The performance is part of a series that pairs live music with atmospheric lighting in architecturally distinctive venues.

Performed by the Collins Quartet, the program includes well-known compositions such as “Querida,” “Amor Eterno,” “Hasta Que Te Conocí” and “Así Fue,” reflecting Juan Gabriel’s influence on Latin pop and regional music. Known for his prolific songwriting and expressive style, he remains one of the most celebrated figures in Latin American music.
