The series of great sting quartets to have visited the Mogens Dahl Concert Hall is now joined by an American quartet of unique stability. Three of its current artists – violinists Ralph Evans and Efim Boico, and cellist Wolfgang Laufer – have performed together for more than 15 years. Viola player Nicol Eugelmi joined the quartet as its newest member in 2009. The Fine Arts Quartet has been touring regularly and giving concerts at musical centres all over the world since its formation in 1946. Like the Julliard and Borodin Quartets, who visited the Mogens Dahl Concert Hall the previous two seasons, it is among the world’s longest existing string quartets, and best!

Cristina Ortiz is a pianist with the world as her scene. She was born in Brazil, studied in France, lives in London and performs as a soloist with all and sundry, for instance: the philharmonic orchestras of Berlin, Vienna, Chicago, Sydney and Philadelphia.
