Quartetto di Cremona at NCPA and Poona Music Society

Since its formation in 2000, Quartetto di Cremona has established a reputation as one of the most exciting chamber ensembles on the international stage. Regularly invited to perform at the most important festivals and concert seasons across Europe, South America, the United States and the Far East, the quartet has garnered universal acclaim from critics and audiences alike for its high level of interpretive artistry. They are a regular feature on radio and television broadcasts around the world (RAI, WDR, BBC, VRT, SDR, ABC) performing their extensive repertoire which ranges from early Haydn to contemporary music.
Quartetto di Cremona is an ambassador for the international “Friends of Stradivari” project and for Thomastik-Infeld Strings. In November of 2015 they were awarded honorary citizenship of the city of Cremona.

2017 marks the release of the final volume in their complete recording of the Beethoven quartets, on the German label Audite. The first volume in the series received immediate recognition, from a five-star rating in BBC Music Magazine to being selected as album of the month by the prestigious German journal Fonoforum. Subsequent volumes attracted similarly high levels of acclaim in the international press, with the Quartetto di Cremona being unanimously considered the true heir of the great Quartetto Italiano. Among their most recent accolades was the Supersonic Award given to the seventh volume of the Beethoven cycle by German magazine Pizzicato.
