BACK IN TOWN: The Danish String Quartet, a Princeton University Concerts fan favorite, returns to Richardson Auditorium November 2.

The Danish String Quartet will return to Princeton University Concerts (PUC) on Thursday, November 2 at 7:30 p.m. with a performance at Richardson Auditorium, Alexander Hall on the Princeton University campus. The quartet will bring a program of Joseph Haydn, Henry Purcell, Dmitri Shostakovich, and arrangements of Scandinavian folk music.

“Our audience adores the Danish String Quartet,” said PUC Director Marna Seltzer. “This will be their third appearance on our series, bringing their uncanny ability to play both folk tunes and the likes of Shostakovich with sophistication, warmth, and infectious energy. Violinist Rune Tonsgaard Sørensen of the Danish String Quartet just joined us on our Performances Up Close series as the leader of the Nordic band Dreamers’ Circus. Those concerts re-affirmed the broad range and virtuosity at the core of his work and the work of the musicians with whom he surrounds himself.”

The quartet is rounded out by Tonsgaard Sørensen’s fellow violinist Frederik Øland, violist Asbjørn Nørgaard, and cellist Fredrik Sjölin.

Tickets for this concert ($25-40 general/$10 students) are currently limited to obstructed view seats. Patrons are encouraged to buy or inquire about turned-back tickets. Visit puc.princeton.edu.
