Edvard Grieg's String Quartets With Quartetto Testosterone

Scandinavia House was created by the American-Scandinavian Foundation to be the leading center for Nordic culture in the United States. It offers a wide range of programs that include exhibitions, film series, concerts and other performances, readings, lectures, language courses, and activities for kids.

Scandinavia House

The Norwegian string quartet, Quartetto Testosterone, presents both Edvard Grieg's quartets in an entirely Scandinavian program at Scandinavia House. The quartet includes musicians Sondre Fjose Sandberg, violin; Daniel Lyngstad, violin; Jakob Dingstad, viola; and Sverre Barratt-Due, cello.
Written at two very different stages of his life, Grieg's string quartets offer a clear contrast to one another, yet sharing folkloric elements common in Norwegian music of the national romantic era. Quartetto Testosterone will be performing both the light and cheery F major quartet, which was left unfinished with only two movements fully completed, and is rarely performed; and the grand, dramatic G minor quartet, which stands as one of Grieg's foremost works and is a central piece in the European chamber music literature.
