Their third season opens with a journey across oceans and centuries featuring the luminous sounds of music from Latin and South America and Spain spanning five centuries.

Their programs embrace a myriad of musical styles, periods, and cultures including folk, jazz, Latin, and transcriptions of the greatest works from the Baroque music canon by Bach, Rameau, and Scarlatti. Winners of Latin GRAMMY and GRAMMY awards, the Guitar Foundation of America awarded these brothers with its Lifetime Achievement Award.
