Ensemble Iberoamericano is a classical music ensemble that was founded in 1993 by a group of musicians who shared a passion for the music of Latin America and Spain. The ensemble is based in New York City and is made up of some of the most talented musicians from around the world. The founding members of Ensemble Iberoamericano were violinist Leonardo Suarez Paz, cellist Carlos Prieto, and pianist Ana Maria Tradatti. They were soon joined by flutist Marco Granados, guitarist Pablo Cohen, and percussionist Rolando Morales-Matos. Together, they set out to explore the rich and diverse musical traditions of Latin America and Spain, and to bring this music to audiences around the world. Over the years, Ensemble Iberoamericano has grown and evolved, with new members joining and others leaving.

The ensemble was invited to perform as part of the Kennedy Center's "AmericArtes" festival, which celebrated the music and culture of Latin America. The performance was a huge success, and helped to establish Ensemble Iberoamericano as one of the premier classical music ensembles in the United States.

They have also collaborated with some of the most renowned musicians in the classical music world, including cellist Yo-Yo Ma and conductor Gustavo Dudamel.
