A veritable institution in the world of classical music, the quartet has dazzled countless audiences worldwide, The New York Times described them as a collective that is “the only classical quartet of real stature in the world today; in fact, they virtually invented the format.” Celedonio passed away in 1996, his spirit lives on in Los Romero, 55 years and counting. With the introduction of Celin’s son, Celino into the quartet in 1990, and Angel’s son, Lito joining his father, Los Romero now encompasses three generations of guitar virtuosi, continuing the founding father’s legacy, playing every performance as homage to Celedonio.
