# Conversation with Castalian String Quartet

After a string of significant pre-pandemic accolades that included a Borletti-Buitoni Trust Fellowship and the title of 2019 Royal Philharmonic Society Young Artist of the Year, the Castalian String Quartet returns to the stage to show audiences why this is such a special group. Taking a break from their residency at Oxford University, the Castalians showcase some of the most powerful music for quartet penned by Mozart, Hensel and Schubert. Perhaps the least known quartet on the program is that by Fanny Hensel, Felix Mendelssohn's sister. Her only work for quartet will leave you wanting to explore more music by this composer whose star is finally on the rise, her talent as a prolific composer at last being recognized in recent years.
