The string quartet Cadence Strings, which consists of Alvar (violin), Annabel (violin), Adrià (viola), and Denisse (cello), was founded in the city of Barcelona in 2018.
They have a wide range of music in their repertoire, from classical to contemporary, including soundtracks and tango.
We're regularly booked to perform for weddings and events at Castell de Sant Marçal in Cerdanyola del Vallès and Ca n'Alzina in Barcelona, Spain.
They worked together to create the album Playback Maracas & The Electronic Moon Orchestra (El Segell, 2018), and they have performed on prestigious stages like Razzmatazz 2 and at the Barcelona Acció Musical festival (La Mercè, 2019), which was captured on camera and live broadcast by Betevé (Barcelona TV).
They gave four shows in Barcelona's Teatre Gaud in November 2019 that included arrangements of Classic Rock songs as well as pieces by Igor Stravinsky and Astor Piazzolla.
On the audiovisual side, they made an appearance in an episode of the first season of Merl: Sapere Aude (Movistar+), when they gave a live performance of a section of Franz Schubert's Quartet No. 3 in B flat major.
They have performed at the Ciclo Resonare 2021's opening concert at the Centre Civic Sant Mart in Barcelona and have signed on to perform at private events for organisations like Fira Nuvis in Pula las Arenas and Weddings & Events in Southern France and the Costa Brava.
