Danish String Quartet
- Public Event
The Danish String Quartet members describe themselves as "modern Vikings—perhaps a touch more harmless than our ancestors… simply your friendly neighborhood string quartet with above average amounts of beard." They have taken the musical world by storm, earning the Carl Nielsen Prize, Denmark's most prestigious cultural award, and reviews applauding them for "one ravishing performance after another…weaving magic over the full house" (San Francisco Classical Voice).
"This is a mature quartet with a fabulous future before them," concluded the Boston Musical Intelligencer. As the Quartet says, "We want to share our music with as many people as possible."
Program:
- Haydn — Quartet in F minor, Op. 20, No. 5, Hob. III:35
