We are delighted that the Castalian Quartet, who performed for us in October 2017, have won the inaugural Merito String Quartet/Valentin Erben Prize.  They will receive their award on 23 April 2018 at the Vienna Konzerthaus, when they will perform works by Joseph Haydn and Robert Schumann.  In addition the Castalian, and Trio Isimsiz who performed for us in October 2015, have both been awarded Borletti-Buitoni Trust Fellowships for the advancement of their musical careers.
