Danish Fiddle Quartet - Nattens favn CD

Danish Fiddle Quartet is a new string quartet formed by violinist Jørgen Dickmeiss. The quartet plays modern Nordic folk music.

The music moves in the borderland between the classical tradition and folk music and has a foot and heart in both genres.

With this new string quartet, Jørgen Dickmeiss lives out an old dream of playing chamber music. He has assembled a quartet consisting of two classical musicians and two folk musicians. Jørgen has also composed and arranged most of music for this ensemble. You can also here other newly written compositions and arrangements of Ditte Fromseier, Carl Nielsen and traditional folk melodies.

The quartet consists of violinists Jørgen Dickmeiss and Ditte Fromseier Hockings, who are both well-known and well-established names on the Danish and international folk music scene, as well as Bruno Sanches and Mathilde Helding on viola and cello, respectively, from the young Danish classical elite. The quartets two singers Ditte and Jørgen can also be heard in some of the arrangements.
