Aniversari. Molts ja ho consideren una cita ineludible de l’estiu empordanès: el concert de cloenda de la Schubertíada a càrrec del Quartet Casals. Amb motiu dels 25è aniversari de la formació que ha canviat la història de la música de cambra del país, enguany ens presenten una obra magna: L’art de la fuga de Johann Sebastian Bach, que molts consideren l’essència de la música. Sempre és un dels primers concerts a exhaurir entrades i enguany no serà diferent gràcies a la grandesa humana i musical de Vera Martínez Mehner, Abel Tomàs, Jonathan Brown i Arnau Tomàs. Per molts anys!

First prize winner at the London and Hamburg (Brahms) international competitions, Cuarteto Casals has become one of the leading string quartets of its generation. It has performed regularly at Wigmore Hall, Carnegie Hall, the Musikverein in Vienna, Kölner Philarmonie, Cité de la Musique Paris, Schubertiade Schwarzenberg, Concertgebouw Amsterdam, and the Berlin Philharmonic. The quartet has been profoundly influenced by its work with contemporary composers such as György Kurtág, and has given the world premieres of works by leading Spanish composers. The highlights of his upcoming seasons include Mozart's ten last quartets and other projects focusing on the Hungarian composers Bartók, Ligeti and Kurtág. He has been recognized as a cultural ambassador by the Generalitat de Catalunya and the Institut Ramon Llull.
