With their technical and interpretive talents matched by an infectious joy for music-making and “rampaging energy” (The New Yorker), the quartet has been acclaimed as one of the “best quartets before the public today” (Washington Post). Since making their debut in 2002 at the Copenhagen Festival, this group of musical friends has demonstrated a passion for Scandinavian composers, who they frequently incorporate into adventurous programs, while also proving skilled and profound performers of the classical masters. member Ensemble Name: The Danish String Quartet Musicians: Asbjørn Nørgaard, Rune Tonsgaard Sørensen, Fredrik Schøyen Sjölin, Frederik Øland Composers: Beethoven, Schnittke, Per Nørgaard Program: Per Nørgaard: Quarteto BreveBeethoven: String Quartet No. 16 in F major, Op. 135Schnittke: Quartet No. 3 (built on Grosse Fuge theme)Beethoven: Grosse Fuge, Op. 133Venue: Meany Hall for the Performing Arts - University of Washington Location: Seattle, WAURL: http://artsuw.org/venue/meany-theater Main Image:
