Since winning First Prizes at the London and Brahms-Hamburg competitions, Cuarteto Casals, which was founded in 1997 at the Escuela Reina Sofía in Madrid, has been a continual guest at the world’s most prestigious concert halls, including Carnegie Hall, Philharmonie Berlin, Cité de la Musique Paris, Philharmonie Paris, Konzerthaus and Musikverein in Vienna, Concertgebouw Amsterdam, and Suntory Hall, among many others.
To celebrate its twenty-fifth anniversary, the quartet released a recording of the complete Art of Fugue by J.S. Bach to much critical acclaim and is currently undertaking a recording of all fifteen quartets by Dmitri Shostakovich, one of the great cycles of the twentieth century, which will be released in the fall of 2024.
In recognition of its unique contributions to the cultural life within Catalunya and throughout Spain, Cuarteto Casals has been acknowledged as cultural ambassadors by the Generalitat of Catalunya and the Institut Ramon Llull. To honor Cuarteto Casals’s decades on the concert stage, the quartet has received the prestigious Medal of Honor from Reina Sofía of Spain.
