The Danish String Quartet

There is no shortage of phenomenal string quartets today, as is made abundantly clear throughout our Chamber Sessions concert series. Yet, “even by today’s high standards, the Danish String Quartet offers something very special” (The Boston Globe). In its return to Zankel Hall, the quartet presents the next phase of its ambitious, multi-year commissioning project, Doppelgänger, which pairs and juxtaposes Schubert’s beloved string quartets with new works inspired by them. In the latest edition of the project, hear Schubert’s “Rosamunde” Quartet and the New York premiere of its doppelgänger by Anna Thorvaldsdottir, an esteemed composer of “seemingly boundless textural imagination” (The New York Times).
