Hi and welcome back to there is music were in huts the bro in denmark and we have a very danish episode planned today the danish String Quartet are playing danish folk songs in denmark. More danish than that. The danish String Quartet are performing here in the borough at the classic a Day International music festival. This city is full of art and music and everyone here knows that the danish String Quartet is in town. Yeah thank you for inviting us to your wonderful festival holstered but this festival is really huge but it must be amazing if you to have real danish stars here it is because as you said we specialize in inviting and internationally but its just a wonderful thing that we have a danish quartet like this is very unusual. Incredibly proud but also because they i think one of the special qualities is that. They mix a lot of. Traditional. Folk music from nordic countries. And yes and they give it a new life and you really feel audiences connect with. The great people to be with. I mean denmark with the danish String Quartet and danish pastries tell me do you guys actually eat these things because we all know about danish pastries thats the best in the world really yeah ok but anyway im going to offer you stuff so so yes. So while i chew. The first question the danish thing quartet thats quite a name but i would you inherited this name right yeah i think we would never call us that again actually but we were young and and foolish know now that it wasnt its a generation name that it was first a fluke quartet in the thirtys where the bureau look i had a song that also was to be able to play on the sunda made a quartet in the fiftys and sixtys that was the danish port of then the son of this field of play i made another generation of a danish called sit in the eightys and then this last son he didnt have any string playing so the name was kind of up for grabs and he happened to be our mentor and teacher so we in this hunt for a name. We had a lot of different names and this was a name we had in one concert where that happens to be nice review its a good name was the wrong things trinkets and back then i actually and i you know young anymore so you can buy your second well yeah well it was kind of stupid to put the young thing in the beginning anyway but but then we just ended up sticking with that name and now we we got used to it you were called the young danish String Quartet and now the danish String Quartets quite a big thing to live up to that i think yeah yeah it is you can say its like a big thing to call yourself in the industry but at the same time were a very small country and basically were the only full time String Quartet in the country and you know as as john mentioned it was just something we picked when we were younger and i mean one name that we could all agree upon was not super bad i guess. I think its a great idea i think i think its a great name and you say you chose it when you were younger it really was when you were younger because youve been together for a long time already a very long time it feels like a lifetime but he meant it because we met when we were very young we met that. There was this and there is this small school in the danish countryside that has a one week summer festival each year people came there for there because they had a huge love for music and we were brought there most of us by our parents and we were playing in two or cursed orchestras during the day and then during the night of throughout the night you were playing to jimmy was it together but this is just the three of you and thats because you have that you have a foreigner in your midst fredrick how did you how did you find find the quartet did they find you did you go to this camp you know no i didnt i. The three of us actually studied together in sweden the Nordic Community is very small and its like its natural to go over borders. And there was a good school so so we all went there. Do. You know. The repertoire you play it goes from early today and the audiences love it wherever you go i love the fact you can play beethoven in the first half and then you play folk stuff in the second half but what when the audience go out i bet they say oh we love that folk stuff how cool how can we get audiences today to be as excited about beethoven as they are about your folk music for us its very natural to play very Different Things. We dont find a conflict between something that you see going and something thats very deep and we find it quite easy to switch from the different states of mind but of course when you do a program you have to make sure that it makes sense we would never do an easygoing danish jake after beethoven opus one thirty one that would be an insult to everybody to the folk musicians and the beethoven is us i like that he said to the folk musicians as well yet no i dont. Because were not actually focus which is which was distributed fooling around with some traditional music i have another question about bringing music to young people because here at the classes good day is that right class is good day i mean first of all youre doing quite a lot for young people love the master class the lifestream master class and these pop up concerts talking to to the young people do you make it make it a distinctive effort to include that in what you do. Because you seem to really appeal i spoke to one one yell string player yes and theyre like change String Quartet the danish think they were certified to dive you like pop stars we always love it when young people come but its not something that we specifically aim for actually we want to project a very honest feeling and something that im comfortable being in and something thats of high very high quality and i think every easy way to get young peoples attention is to project something thats honest i think they feel right away if youre trying to get them you know if you try too hard thats what i felt when you think ok weve got to get a hand out or come here baby right and if you put on the pink light ahead i hide my String Quartet or something you know its going to stink theres been in the initial saves its like theres a fishy smell or think you know right thats all for serious music for today were going to enjoy a little bit more danish String Quartet magic now see you next time and hifi wants to grow.
