About

About Jorge Glem

Jorge Glem, a Latin Grammy winner and Grammy nominee, is a virtuoso of the Venezuelan cuatro, mandolinist, and producer — celebrated as one of Venezuela’s most treasured and innovative musical figures. Hailing from Cumaná, Venezuela and now based in the U.S., he has devoted his life to sharing the cuatro with the world and redefining its place in global music.

His extraordinary talent and sense of purpose have led him to perform solo concertos for cuatro with acclaimed conductor Gustavo Dudamel and world-renowned orchestras such as the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the San Francisco Symphony, and the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela.

Notably, his performance with the Simón Bolívar Symphony at the Edinburgh International Festival received an exceptional standing ovation, as did his other appearances.

Mission

Cuatro 4 Everybody

What is my dream? That the Venezuelan cuatro acquires the same universal relevance as other instruments such as the violin, piano or drums and that one day you can recognize the sound of Venezuelan music in all corners of this planet.

In the press · Hollywood Bowl, August 23, 2026

“Jorge Glem shredded on the cuatro, a four-stringed instrument derived from the Spanish guitar.”

Daily Trojan · Aden Max Juarez

“It was one of those wonderful reminders that you don't have to know anything about an instrument (or even have seen one before) to recognize when someone has absolutely mastered it.”

We Live Entertainment · Kevin Taft

“Take in the enrapturing sounds of Jorge Glem's cuatro and the LA Phil.”

Los Angeles Philharmonic
