On Wednesday, October 30th at 7:30 PM, we’re kicking off our festival with an extraordinary evening of music that blends the timeless beauty of Schubert with the soulful sound of Danish singer-songwriter Guldimund.

Part I // SCHUBERT

We’ll begin with Franz Schubert’s String Quartet in G major, D.887, performed by yours truly!

Part II // GULDIMUND

In the second half, we’re thrilled to present a special collaboration with Guldimund (Asger Nordtorp Pedersen), who has captured hearts with his poetic songwriting and haunting melodies. Accompanied by Arendse Nordtorp Pedersen on violin, Mathæus Bech on bass and Villads Hoffmann on cittern. We even get to play along for a few tunes which we’re very excited about.

Guldimund, whose latest album “Jeg venter i lyset” earned him awards for both Album and Single of the Year at the GAFFA Awards, brings his deeply personal sound to this unique concert.

This is a rare chance to experience the fusion of classical and contemporary music in a powerful live performance. 🎟️ Get your tickets now and join us for an unforgettable night of music here.

Someone recently asked us where and how we do most of our creative work. The answer? Well, it might surprise you: 90% of our creativity happens in cars and hotel rooms.

There’s something oddly inspiring about a 4-hour drive—just the four of us, packed in a car, surrounded by music and ideas. Those long stretches on the road can be incredibly productive. And hotel nights? Our “parties” are a mix of fun and focused work. No distractions, nowhere to go—just the four of us, a bottle of something nice, and the music.

It’s in these moments, far from any stage or studio, there is room for new ideas and music...

Tucked away in our practice room sits an old, mysterious suitcase that’s become a bit of a legend among us. Inside? Physical tapes of an album that never saw the light of day.

Fifteen years ago, we packed up and traveled to the English countryside, settling into a grand house with two sound engineers to record something truly special. And yet, since that magical time, the tapes have just been… sitting there, waiting for their moment.

We’ve been talking about doing something with this old and forgotten treasure. However the thought of listening to it after all these years is a frightening one!

The suitcase is still there in our studio. Every day we look at it. Maybe it’s finally time to open it up and see what’s inside… 👀

We call our releases songs, even though there are no vocals, because it's the instruments talking to each other. We are always talking together, and that's why it never gets boring. It's like a dance.
Here is a live session from the iconic Copenhagen venue Vega.

Somebody asked how we work, and it made us talk about how the innovative is often right next to something very awkward. When we're in the studio, we often take inspiration from the legendary Rick Rubin – working until everyone is truly satisfied. It’s not always easy, though. Sometimes, we end up in a creative ditch, where one of us has to give in, but we push through. Not that it's a huge drama; it’s more about going a bit further until the music feels right for all of us. 🎶

We’ve learned that creativity is a process, and sometimes, you just take turns being dissatisfied – but that’s where the magic happens. ✨

This is how it looks like in the near future for our band. From now and through 2025 our live concerts in Denmark will solely be presenting the new music and recording “Kvaedi” with our good friend and amazing artist Teitur.

Looking forward to presenting it to you all.
We are very proud of our collab album 💛

We created this space because we feel a special connection to you guys when we play live, which we miss a lot between concerts. This isn’t just another page; it’s a way to bring you into our inner circle. If you already cross borders to watch a concert, buy merch and want to keep up with what we're doing, here’s what you get when you join our All-Access membership on Sleeve:

🔥 Exclusive Access: Early tickets to shows, unreleased music, and first listens on new releases.

🎟️ Behind-the-Scenes Content: Go beyond the music and discover the stories behind it.

💬 Direct Involvement: You guys should talk and meet! Leave comments and start nerdy discussions about inspirations, instruments and other music related topics.

We’re inviting you to join us in this experiment—to help us create a space where the music is truly in focus. It’s about trying to build a connection as meaningful as the one we feel when we play live for you.

As we gear up for next year’s massive project, it’s wild to think that the journey actually started 1 ½ years ago. Back then, we had a slightly awkward meeting (as these things often are), until the doors opened—and in walked the board of the Léonie Sonning Prize. They had big news: We had been selected as the recipients for 2025. Our hands started shaking! Luckily, they had a bit of champagne on hand to calm the nerves.

We rushed outside to call our families, and ever since, we’ve been hard at work preparing for what will be the biggest year of our quartet’s career.

Here’s a taste of what’s coming:

• A huge concert with the Danish National Symphony Orchestra, featuring a deeply personal piece that reflects our 23 years together as a quartet

• A folk music mini festival at Refshaleøen in the spring

• A theater production with actor Lars Mikkelsen, touring both Denmark and the US

• Collaborations with the Danish National Girls’ Choir—and so much more that we can’t even reveal it all yet!

It’s all been a whirlwind, and we’re so excited for what’s to come. We’re incredibly honored to be the first ensemble to receive the Léonie Sonning Music Prize, and we’re grateful to everyone who has been part of our journey so far. Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to 2025—we can’t wait to share this next chapter with all of you.
