Sunday Morning Concert

It all started with a few arrangements by violinist Rune Tonsgaard Sørensen, appealing as an encore. This idea grew into something more, and the folk music of the far North now belongs to the standard repertoire of the Danish String Quartet. The musicians effortlessly blend the dance-like rhythms with Haydn’s classical notes.

“Music is a way to hang out with friends, and we hope we can continue to hang out for many, many years.” This quote from the Danish String Quartet, which is celebrating its twentieth anniversary this season, illustrates the character of the quartet, the way these musicians conquer the stage. Their friendship forms the basis for a natural and intense interplay that sets the ears on stalks.
