Musical America’s 2020 Ensemble of the Year, the Danish String Quartet celebrates the Nordic music from their heritage with beloved and cherished folk arrangements along with classical favorites.
Known for mastering the works of great classical composers such as Beethoven and Mozart, the quartet is equally passionate about Scandinavian folk tunes. Its albums Wood Works and Last Leaf focus on the common ground between classical music and folk songs, and have both received wide-spread acclaim, as the music reveals “a freshness, immediacy and love that [grips] the heart and [won’t] let go” (The Washington Post).
