New Music enthusiasts and chamber music specialists, Juan Horie (cello) and Sixto Franco (viola) have joined forces to form the Quijote Duo, a formation that strives to create spaces for innovation and experimentation through collaboration.

     With a combined experience in many fields including theater, education, composition, concert music and arts management, the Quijote Duo has been expanding the limits of the performative arts and the relationship between artist, performance and audience. 

    Based in Chicago, Quijote duo is committed to supporting emergent composers resulting in numerous premiers in its short existence. They have performed at the Ear Taxi Festival, Thirsty Ears Festival, Project 88 Music Academy, and the Frequency Series at Constellation.
