Danish String Quartet

“[The] DSQ has established itself as one of the most exceptional international ensembles playing today. Impeccable, highly disciplined and dynamic musicianship come with a relaxed, platform presence which communicates to audiences of all ages the joy, excitement, sadness and humor of chamber music.” — Seen & Heard International

One of the world’s most renowned string quartets, performing to sold-out concert halls around the world, the Danish String Quartet returns for a third time to the Chamber Series. Musical America’s 2020 Ensemble of the Year, the quartet will perform works by Mozart and Shostakovich as well as folk music from around the world.

On October 8, the Danish String Quartet was awarded the $150,000 Léonie Sonning Music Prize. The quartet is the first ensemble to ever win the accolade, which is usually awarded to individual artists. They join other past award recipients including Igor Stravinsky, Miles Davis, Leonard Bernstein, and Yo-Yo Ma.  Click here to read more.
