Norwegian Folk Music

Formed under the midnight sun in Lofoten in 2005, the Engegård Quartet

has rapidly become one of Norway’s most sought after ensembles. Their

bold, fresh interpretations of the classical repertoire combined with a deep

attachment to their Scandinavian roots has attracted international acclaim,

and inspired some innovative partnerships and programming. The quartet’s

debut CD was praised as ‘breathtaking’ in The Strad, while their second

release won Pizzicato magazine’s ‘Supersonic Award’. Their CD of works by

Grieg, Sibelius, and Olav Anton Thommessen was praised by Tully Potter in

Music Web International as ‘what Grieg lovers have been waiting for’.
