NOVO Quartet

The NOVO Quartet, founded in 2018 in Copenhagen, has quickly made a name for itself as one of Denmark’s most exciting young ensembles. Comprising violinists Kaya Kato Møller and Nikolai Vasili Nedergaard, violist Daniel Śledziński and cellist Signe Ebstrup Bitsch, the quartet has achieved a remarkable level of success in a short period of time.

Their accolades include winning First Prize and the Audience Prize at the prestigious Irene Steels-Wilsing Foundation International String Quartet Competition in 2023 and receiving Second Prize and the Jury Special Prize at the Trondheim International Chamber Music Competition in 2021.

Currently studying at the Norwegian Academy of Music through the ECMAster programme under Professors Are Sandbakken, Torleif Thedéen and Bjørg Lewis, NOVO Quartet has also received musical guidance from esteemed musicians such as Hatto Beyerle (Alban Berg Quartet), Valentin Erben (Alban Berg Quartet), Heime Müller (Artemis Quartet), Patrick Jüdt and the Danish String Quartet.

NOVO Quartet’s performances have been met with critical acclaim in Denmark and abroad. The quartet has performed extensively throughout their home country as well as in China, USA, France, Holland, Germany, Sweden, Norway and Greenland. In addition to their concert appearances, NOVO Quartet has made several radio appearances and collaborated with established artists such as pianists Alexander Lonquich and Per Tengstrand.

The individual members of the NOVO Quartet each bring a wealth of experience from their solo careers to their work with the ensemble. Their strong bond both musically and personally is evident in their performances which are characterised by unity and a deep connection to the music.
