Cuarteto Casals

The world of string quartets is a crowded one. But the Cuarteto Casals has secured its place there as one of the best chamber music ensembles. Even frequently heard classics appear in new splendour.

American orchestras are often referred to as the »Big Five«. If there were something comparable among the world's leading string quartets, the Cuarteto Casals would certainly be among them. Founded in Madrid in 1997, the ensemble stands not only for technical perfection, but also for the highest intensity of expression. It memorably lays bare the different emotional currents of the music, whether longing, despair, melancholy or jubilation. In addition to classics by Haydn and Mendelssohn, the Cuarteto Casals also presents a new work by Spanish composer Raquel García-Tomás.

In the concerts of the Lied, Chamber Music, and Quartetto series, we aim to create an atmosphere that brings musicians and the audience closer together—through brief introductions and lighting that make our large concert hall feel a bit like a chamber music venue. Come closer!
