Quartetto di Cremona, founded in 2000 and winner of the 2019 Franco Buitoni Award, are among the world’s preeminent string quartets, noted for its lustrous sound, refined musicianship and stylistic versatility. According to The Strad, the Quartetto’s Lincoln Center debut in 2022 “was distinguished by splendid balance, abundant colour and a relaxed mastery of all the musical elements.” This season, the Quartetto mark their 25th Anniversary Season with a world tour that takes them to North America, Europe and Asia.
Quartetto di Cremona was established at the Accademia Walter Stauffer in Cremona, Italy, and has toured extensively in Europe, the United States, South America and Asia. In 2015, the musicians were awarded honorary citizenship by the city of Cremona, and in 2016, were awarded a loan of the famous the Paganini Quartet of Stradivarius instruments from the Nippon Music Foundation.
