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.
