Formed in 2011, the Castalian String Quartet has rocketed to the top ranks of string quartets. In just a few seasons, it has made critically-acclaimed debuts at New York’s Lincoln Center, Banff International String Quartet Festival, and The Philips Collection in Washington D.C. In 2016, the Quartet were selected by the Young Classical Artists Trust. In 2019 the Castalian was named the String Quartet in Residence at the University of Oxford and also Royal Philharmonic Society Young Artist of the Year. We are thrilled to have them in our 50^th anniversary year.

To hear this music, so full of poetry, joy and sorrow, realised to such perfection, felt like a miracle.” The Observer / Wigmore Hall / January 2020

“Their level of ensemble interconnectedness …..in Brahms and Schumann was truly remarkable, evincing a physics most rare and overlaid with an emotional world of similarly surpassing sublimity. There were times that I simply could not believe my ears.” Calgary Herald / Banff International String Quartet Competition / September 2016
