About: Den Danske Strygekvartet

Four Copenhagen-trained musicians who are equally at home with Beethoven and Shostakovich as with centuries-old Nordic folk tunes - in 2025 they became the first ensemble to win the Léonie Sonning Prize. The quartet tours globally and performs regularly in Denmark, including through their own concert series, Series of Four.
