It all started at a children’s camp in the Danish countryside, where three young teenagers formed friendships thanks to their shared love of music and football. Initially, they started playing music together. Later, when they were fellow students at the Copenhagen Music Academy, they were joined by a Norwegian cellist. Without intending to, they had already become a quartet that in the following years was to develop into one of Europe’s most dynamic chamber music ensembles. On the basis of their appearance, they are often likened to Vikings, but their playing possesses all the sensitivity, tonal precision, imagination and expressiveness required by the repertoire they perform; they move with equal ease from Haydn to Shostakovich, but they do not hesitate to propose to the audience even their own scholarly approaches to the musical traditions of Scandinavia, something they will do at Megaron the Athens Concert Hall, in a concert that is expected with particular interest.
