The Danish String Quartet returns with electrifying chemistry, Scandinavian warmth, and world-class artistry. Beginning with Gabriella Smith’s vibrant Carrot Revolution—a celebration of finding wonder in the ordinary through fresh observation—this program invites listeners to hear beloved works anew. Paired with Beethoven’s transcendent Op. 131 and Shostakovich’s deeply expressive Fourteenth Quartet, join us in an evening which reveals fresh perspectives and profound emotion, brought to life not only by the quartet’s remarkable technical brilliance, but also the deep musical friendship that has united the ensemble for decades. 

What they do know is how to be an exceptional quartet, whatever repertory they play.
