The Muñoz String Quartet, composed of violinists Juan Muñoz and Gian Barayuga, violinist Mhaze Lim and cellist Paul Natividad, will be performing selections from Dvorak’s American String Quartet, as well as Carlos Gardel’s Por una Cabeza and Verdi’s Brindisi from “La Traviata.” Acclaimed Chilean violinist-conductor Muñoz teaches at the Waldorf School in Laguna and in St. Scholastica’s College of Music. Barayuga is the assistant concertmaster of the Philippine International Church-Adventist University of the Philippines Orchestra and the second violin of the recently formed Muñoz String Quartet.
