Jorge Saade-Scaff, Ecuador’s most outstanding violinist has captivated audiences all over the world with his enormous sound, compelling virtuoso performances and charismatic personality. Mark Holston, music critic for the "AMERICAS" magazine in Washington DC wrote about him: "one of the best young classical musicians of the Americas... his reputation as Ecuador’s violin virtuoso is reinforced by this haunting, richly rewarding selection". Mr. Saade served as the Cultural and Press Attaché of the Ecuadorian Embassy and Cultural Representative of Ecuador to the Organization of the American States in Washington DC from June 1997 to February 2003. He is currently the Artistic Director and Professor of Violin at the Guayaquil Arts Theater Center and Professor Emeritus of violin at the "Antonio Neumane" Conservatory of Music in Guayaquil. Mr. Saade is also Cultural Advisor for the Pan-American Symphony Orchestra, the Washington Symphony Orchestra and Friends of the National Symphony Orchestra FANS in Washington DC.

This is from Saade-Scaff's disc (released with pianist Boris Cepeda) entitled Danza Ecuatoriana - a work by Ecuadorian composer Geraldo Guevara.
