About the series
P� svenskaProbably the most popular form of intimate chamber music.
Some of the world’s leading string quartets come to Konserthuset. This anniversary season includes two world premieres of works commissioned by Konserthuset. We encounter Sweden’s Stenhammar Quartet, the American Calidore String Quartet, Austria’s Javus Quartett – this season’s ECHO Rising Stars – as well as prize-winning ensembles such as Germany’s Leonkoro Quartett and the Swedish-Norwegian Opus13. Also note that the French Quatuor Ébène presents an all-Beethoven programme – including the Mount Everest of the genre: the original version of Op. 130. Enjoy!
The American Calidore String Quartet (pictured) was founded in 2010 and has been described by The Washington Post as follows: “Four more distinct individualists would be hard to imagine, and yet they speak, breathe, think and feel as one.” Alongside the classical repertoire, they have also performed works by composers such as John Williams and John Adams. Now the New York-based quartet makes its debut at Konserthuset, performing the world premiere of a work by Anna Clyne.
