Danish String Quartet at Shriver Hall Concert Series
“They could be grounded in their tone or mystical. They allowed time to stand still, and they could assume the pose of excitingly aggressive rockers. They did it all.” —The Los Angeles Times

BRITTEN: Three Divertimenti
'An Alleged Suite', A Curated Suite of Dances
SCHUBERT: String Quartet No. 14 in D minor, D. 810 "Death and the Maiden"
The Danish String Quartet’s joy for music-making and “rampaging energy” (The New Yorker) is entirely infectious. The dazzling Grammy-nominated group – three Danes and a Norwegian – perform Britten’s extroverted Divertimenti, a uniquely curated suite of dances, and Schubert’s thrilling Death and the Maiden quartet, one of the pillars of the repertoire.
