“A sonic signature entirely its own” (The New York Times)

The Festival is delighted to return to the lush surrounds of the National Botanic Gardens for a summer evening concert performed on this occasion by the dazzling Spanish Cuarteto Casals.

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 and Concertgebouw Amsterdam.

These award-winning, elegant musicians will present works by compatriots Arriaga and Turina and Italy’s Luigi Boccherini, alongside Brahms’ remarkable String Quartet No 1.

A must for chamber music lovers!

Presented in partnership with the Office of Public Works and in association with the National Botanic Gardens
