Danish String Quartet Concert Program #2
“There are simply two kinds of string quartets: the Danish, and the others.” — Boston Classical Review
The Danish String Quartet celebrated its 20th Anniversary in 2022-23, and the GRAMMY®-nominated quartet continues to assert its preeminence among the world’s finest string quartets. Formed when they were in their teens, they are renowned for impeccable musicianship, sophisticated artistry, exquisite clarity of ensemble, and, above all, an unmatched ability to play as one. Their inventive and intriguing programming and repertoire choices have produced critically acclaimed original projects and commissions as well as popular arrangements of Scandinavian folk music. They are the recipients of many awards and prestigious appointments, including Musical America’s 2020 Ensemble of the Year and the Borletti-Buitoni Trust.
Monday night’s program features:
Purcell: Chaconne
Haydn: Quartet in G Minor, Op. 20, No. 3
Shostakovich: SQ No. 7 in F-sharp Minor, Op. 108
