During the festival edition of 2026, many talented young string quartets can be heard. In the program section 'Grass Roots', the String Quartet Biennial presents three promises of the future: Opus13, Poiesis Quartet and the Erinys Quartet. With an inventive approach to the repertoire, these three string quartets represent the youngest generation, a generation that is aware of the present and past.
This concert presents winners of three major string quartet competitions. All three will perform music that will showcase their character as a string quartet. The Swedish-Norwegian Opus 13 won the Wigmore Hall International String Quartet Competition, the Poiesis Quartet from Cincinnati took home the first prize at the Banff International String Quartet Competition, and the Erinys Quartet, founded in Helsinki, is the winner of the Trondheim International Chamber Music Competition.
