Zapolski Kvartetten

ensemble
The Zapolsky Quartet was founded in february 1993 around the violinist Alexander Zapolski. From its first concert, the quartet has made its mark very rapidly as one of the leading chamber ensembles in the country, with a large, wide-ranging repertoire. The Zapolski Quartet has given concerts all over Denmark, for chamber music associations, in churches and at the leading music festivals. Concerts abroad include places like Vienna, Bratislava, Athens, St. Petersburg, Moscow and Stockholm. During the summer of 1988 the Zapolsky Quartet visited the prestigious chamber music festival in Finland, Kuhmo Chamber Music. The quartet's repertoire is wide-ranging: from the classical string quartet repertoire based on Haydn and Mozart via Carl Nielsen to contemporary music, where Danish works enjoy high priority in particular. The ensemble takes interest in being in charge of ensemble playing in different constellations and likes to meet different nationalities - music is an international language with no borders.
