The Quartetto di Cremona, formed in 2000, has made its mark on the international chamber music scene. Starting at the Stauffer Academy of Salvatore Accardo in Cremona and continuing at the Scuola di Musica di Fiesole, they continue to study with Hatto Beyerle. The Quartetto has played to critical acclaim in the most important venues and Festivals in Europe and overseas. These include Wigmore Hall London, Beethoven Haus and BeethovenFest Bonn, Perth International Art Festival Australia, Barge Music New York, Turku Music Festival, Handelsbeurs (Gent). In Italy they have played for all the most important concert societies and Festivals. Strad Magazine wrote about their "extremely mature and lyrical sound"; the Australian press defined them as the "glory of the Perth Festival 2004". Following on from the success at the fourth Melbourne Competition, where they won the second prize they were invited to partake in an extended Australian tour. Other successes include first prize at the Vittorio Veneto Competition, first prize at the seventh Cremona International Competition and second prize at the V.Gui International Competition in Florence. In 2005 the Cremona Quartet received a Borletti-Buitoni Trust Fellowship. Their repertoire ranges from the early Haydn quartets to the present day to contemporary Italian music. They have collaborated with artists such as Bruno Giuranna, Bella Davidovich, Filippo Gamba,  Cedric Tiberghien, Hatto Beyerle, Enrico Bronzi, the Brodski and Szymanowski Quartet. Performances in the UK for 2009 include Wigmore Hall, Oxford, Sheffield and Brighton Festival. They have recently recorded Vacchi's String Quartets, Boccherini's Quartets and Dvorak and Brahms Quintets with pianist Filippo Gamba.
