About the Albéniz Quartet
Created at the Reina Sofía School of Music in 1995, the Albéniz Quartet of the Prosegur Foundation has been directed by professors Rainer Schmidt, Alastair Tait and Heime Müller, under whose tutelage it is currently.
The Quartet has received from Her Majesty Queen Sofía the Diploma of String Group "most outstanding" of its category in several academic courses.
Since its formation, it has performed in such emblematic places as the Casa de la Moneda, the Carlos de Amberes Foundation, the Prado Museum, the Palace of Congresses and Conventions of Madrid, the Royal Site of La Granja de San Ildefonso and the National Museum of Roman Art of Mérida, among others.
From the Tourist Centers they point out that the Prosegur Foundation is a non-profit entity "that channels the social and cultural action of Prosegur, with the aim of helping to build a more supportive society with fewer inequalities."
They also add that this entity carries out social projects that respond to the real demands of the communities, where the Company is present. In addition, they promote "the training of new generations and promote the social integration of the less favored groups." The fields where these lines of action are reflected are Education, social and labor integration of people with disabilities and the promotion of Corporate Volunteering.
