Castalian String Quartet

About last night... It was an honour to welcome @shekukannehmason back to Newbury Spring Festival! He was joined by the @castalianquartet for a recital of solo cello, sting quartets and two energetic Schubert quintets at a very full @cornexchange Newbury. Earlier in the day, Sheku and the Castalian Quartet gave a workshop to local schoolchildren (photos coming soon!).

Behind the scenes this week at a Castalian rehearsal preparing for our next concert in Oxford. Join us on January 30th at 7.30pm at the Holywell Music Room for a program of Haydn, Hildegard von Bingen, Kurtág and Beethoven!

As part of our access event with @trinitycollegeox , GCSE Music students enjoyed a performance and Q&A with the “exquisite” @castalianquartet , helping them to explore musical opportunities at university and beyond. (If you were wondering, “exquisite” was the word the students used, but we are inclined to agree.) Photo credit: Ian Wallman.

Feeling grateful to share a special evening of Beethoven, @charlottebraycomposer , and Schubert in this gorgeous hall!

We have an exciting edition of Classical Beat presented by The National Bank of Indianapolis this week! Tune in Sunday, November 3rd on WICR 88.7 FM at 8:00 PM to hear about concerts presented by the Ensemble Music Society (@ensemblemusicsociety ), Orchestra Indiana (@orchestraindiana ), American Piano Awards (@pianoawards ), and the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra (@indysymphony ). Host John Nasukaluk Clare talks with violinist Daniel Roberts from the Castalian String Quartet performing with the Ensemble Music Society on Wednesday, November 6th in Downtown Indianapolis. Daniel Wiley discusses his concert with Orchestra Indiana (@orchestraindiana ) on November 9th in Muncie, IN. John talks with Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra's (@indysymphony ) Jack Everly about the upcoming Pops Series concerts on November 8th and 9th. Finally, we check back in with the American Piano Awards (@pianoawards ) to talk with Finalist Sasha Kasman Laude who is performing with the Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra on November 10th at the Indiana History Center Basile Theater. It's not all talk, though, as it would not be a classical music show without music. We will see you Sunday on the radio! (Photo: Castalian String Quartet)
