In recognition of its unique contribution to the cultural life of Catalonia and Spain, the Cuarteto Casals has been honored by the Catalan Autonomous Government, the Institut Ramon Lull, and the Ministry of Culture as cultural ambassadors. In the past, it has received awards such as the Premio Nacional de Música, the Premi Nacional de Cultura de Catalunya, and the Premi Ciutat Barcelona. Each year, the quartet also performs on the exceptional collection of Stradivari string instruments at the Royal Palace in Madrid. To celebrate its decades of concert activity, the Cuarteto Casals was awarded the prestigious honorary medal from Queen Sofía of Spain.
In addition to the much-coveted masterclasses it offers, the quartet holds residencies at the Koninklijk Conservatorium in The Hague, the Scuola di Musica di Fiesole, and the Escola Superior de Música de Catalunya in Barcelona for all four members.
Starting with the 2024/25 season, the Cuarteto Casals welcomes Cristina Cordero as its new violist.
