"The Cassatt String Quartet is certainly one of the great ensembles of our age." -- Concerto Net

Acclaimed as one of America's outstanding ensembles, the Manhattan based Cassatt String Quartet has performed throughout North America, Europe, and the Far East, and is a Treetops CMS all-time favorite. The Cassatts have performed on the matched quartet of Stradivarius instruments at the Library of Congress. Alex Ross has named the Cassatt Quartet’s recordings three times in his “10 Best Classical Recordings” feature in The New Yorker Magazine. The group’s discography, which includes over forty recordings, spans the Koch, Naxos, New World, Point, CRI, Tzadik, and Albany labels. They have been featured on NPR’s Performance Today, WGBH Boston, WQXR and WNYC of New York, Canada’s CBC Radio, and Radio France.

Pianist Magdalena Baczewska has been acclaimed as a “world-class” musician (The American Record Guide) and “eloquent and technically flawless” (The Washington Post).
