Sjællands String Quartet

In 2004, four of the Copenhagen Philharmonic Orchestra’s solo string players became what was later to be called Sjællands String Quartet. At their Tivoli Gardens Concert Hall debut in 2006, the public experienced their characteristic sound, which continues to make its marks on the musical scene.
   The quartet’s programming mixes classical and non-classical repertoire and includes less well known works by composers like Herman Sandby, Erik Bach, Anders Koppel, Nikos Skalkottas, Dia Succari and Peteris Vasks.
   In 2007 the four musicians performed Elvis Costello’s The Juliet Letters at the Royal Opera House in Copenhagen. They have made several CD-recordings for Dacapo Records (both quartets by Sunleif Rasmussen amd the first volume of the complete string quartets by Paul von Klenau) and in 2007 the quartet recorded both quartets by Janacek and performed in Syria, Greece, Italy and the Fareo Islands.
