Top quartet swaps violist

Top quartet swaps violist

The award-laden Cuarteto Casals of Barcelona has lost its violist Jonathan Brown to a teaching vocation at Colburn in LA.

Brown is replaced by his former student Cristina Cordero, 26, who was four years old when the quartet was formed in 1977.

She says it’s a dream come true. ‘It is impossible to express how happy and excited I am to be part of the Cuarteto Casals Since I was little I have admired them deeply and I have grown up listening to their albums, their concerts, their masterclasses… I also had the privilege of studying with Jonathan Brown at Escuela Superior de Música Reina Sofía his values and love of music have been with me ever since. Being able to play with Vera, Abel and Arnau is being one of the most beautiful and inspiring experiences I’ve ever had.. Can’t wait to share this wonderful music with you all very soon.’
