The Castalia String Quartet is named for the Greek nymph Castalia, who evaded Apollo’s pursuits by diving into a spring. The spring became sacred to the Muses and was a source of poetic inspiration for all who drank from it. Like the Castalian spring’s mythical visitors, the Castalia String Quartet is dedicated to seeking the sources of inspiration that flow through every musical composition.
