Armando Castellano, French Horn/Corno Français
Armando Castellano is a musician and educator living in Redwood City. As a French horn player, he performs regularly in regional orchestras including the California Symphony. He has spent much of the last ten years organizing and performing chamber music, culminating in his current work as founder and director of Quinteto Latino. Though a musician his entire life, Armando rarely had the opportunity to perform classical works culturally relevant to him and his community until the formation of this unique ensemble. He has taught throughout the Bay Area in both English and Spanish and is currently an instructor at San José City College. The rest of his life is devoted to raising his two sons, Andries and Wim who respectfully refers to "Papi's" musician friends as "niños de música."
