Artist in Residence 2012

Each year, Mogens Dahl Concert Hall cooperates with an exclusive artist in residence. In 2011, we – and the audience – will have the pleasure of experiencing the young and talented musicians in The Danish String Quartet.

The concept of ‘artist in residence’ allows for benefits for artists as well as the concert manager and the audience. One of the benefits is the possibility for the audience to get to listen to a series of concerts with the artist in question, and thus the chance to delve more into the artist’s universe than a single concert would allow. The Mogens Dahl Concert Hall, which is available for the artists whenever they may need a location for extra rehearsals, photo sessions or recordings, collaborates closely with the artist in residence as regards the repertoire and other artistic choices.

The Danish String Quartet

The Danish String Quartet made its debut at the Copenhagen Summer Festival in 2002. In the course of remarkably short time the quartet drew attention to itself for its highly committed musicianship and enthralling style, and the ensemble quickly established itself as the most promising news in the classical music world in Denmark. After winning the Danish Radio P2 Chamber Music Competition in 2004 the quartet’s good name was established in Denmark, and the four young musicians have since then been frequent guests in Danish festivals, music societies and international chamber music venues.

The Danish String Quartet has participated in numerous chamber music competitions with great success. After winning the P2 competition as the youngest winners ever, they proceeded to win 1. Prize in Vagn Holmboe String Quartet Competition and the Charles Hennen International Chamber Music Competition in Holland. The Danish String Quartet won the 1. Prize and the Audience Prize in the Trondheim International String Quartet Competition in 2005. In March 2009 they won the First Prize in the Eleventh London International String Quartet Competition. The Danish String Quartet were also awarded four other prizes: The 20th Century Prize, the Beethoven Prize, the Sidney Griller Award and the Menton Festival Prize.

In 2006 the Danish Radio gave the quartet the opportunity to record all Carl Nielsen’s string quartets in the Danish Radio Concert Hall. The recordings were released on the Dacapo label in 2007 and 2008 and they were hailed by the critics as extremely successful recordings.
