Partnership with Stauffer Center for Strings continues with Quartetto di Cremona residency at the Royal College of Music (RCM)

Thursday 11 May 2023

Quartetto di Cremona coach and perform at the RCM as part of partnership with Stauffer Center for Strings.

The Royal College of Music (RCM) and the Stauffer Center for Strings in Cremona have been partners since 2022, a collaboration that has already seen RCM professors and string quartets travelling to Italy to work and study at the Stauffer Center for Strings in the famous string instrument-making city of Cremona. 

As part of this collaboration, the internationally acclaimed Quartetto di Cremona will be in residency at the Royal College of Music for six days in May and will coach and perform alongside RCM students. The concert on 15 May features Brahms’ String Quintet no 2 with four RCM violists joining the quartet for each of the four movements, as well as performances from one of the RCM’s prize-winning ensembles the Fiora String Quartet, and Quartetto Thumos from the Stauffer Academy. 

The RCM Strings Faculty is a supportive community of talented individuals providing its students with a world-class programme of study and opportunities to learn from internationally renowned musicians.
