Their lively and fresh vision on the traditional quartet repertoire has delivered them subsequent praise from public and press.

Quatuor Danel is a regular guest at festivals such as Ottawa, Kuhmo, Cork, Schleswig-Holstein, Bregenz, Schostakowitsch Tage Gorisch, Luzern Zaubersee, Sakharov Festival, Enescu Festival, Fayence, Luberon, Montpellier, Folle Journée de Nantes and Musica Mundi.
