From Carnegie Hall to the Colombian rainforest, the Castalian Quartet is quickly becoming a force to be reckoned with among international chamber music. With Sini Simonen and Daniel Roberts on violin, Ruth Gibson on viola, and Christopher Graves on cello, their program with works from Mozart, Janácek and Sibelius is sure to delight. Their "real personality and strong interpretative ideas" (The Guardian) provide a can't-miss experience for all chamber music lovers.

The Castalian Quartet makes the simplest things we hear into the most important things we could ever want to hear... There were times that I simply could not believe my ears.
