-Strings Magazine
The musicians of this internationally acclaimed quartet met as pre-teens at a summer music camp and have been performing ever since. Their easy joking and camaraderie belies the utter seriousness of their artistry; they have won accolades around the world for their imaginative programming (like a 9-hour marathon of the Beethoven quartets) and technical prowess. Discover “what makes the Danish String Quartet’s playing so special: Elegance and brilliance… technical excellence and interpretive insight… a winning mix of studied concentration and willful freedom” (The New York Times).
