Event Detail

ArtPower! presents:

The Danish String Quartet holds a unique position among the many young and dynamic ensembles performing on the international scene today. The musicians, all under the age of 30, have been performing as a quartet since its debut in 2002 at the Copenhagen Festival. With their passion for Scandinavian composers juxtaposed with the classics, the group brings a level of freshness, energy, and sheer accomplishment to their lively performances. Since winning the Danish Radio P2 Chamber Music Competition in 2004, the four young musicians have been frequent guests at international festivals and at chamber music venues throughout the world. Come see this explosion of talent for yourself. Frederik Øland, violin; Rune Tonsgaard Sørensen, violin; Asbjørn Nørgaard, viola; Fredrik Schøyen Sjölin, cello.

Program: Felix Mendelssohn: String Quartet No. 2 in A minor, Op. 13; Claude Debussy: String Quartet, L. 85 (Op. 10); Hans Abrahamsen: String Quartet No. 1, “Ten Preludes”
