The Danish String Quartet made its debut at the Copenhagen Summer Festival in 2002. The group is known for its performances of classical music as well as its own renditions of traditional Nordic folk music. The quartet has also worked with an extensive range of contemporary Scandinavian composers.
Since 2007, the ensemble has curated its own annual event, the DSQ Festival, in Copenhagen. In 2016, they launched Series of Four, their concert series held in the concert hall of the Royal Danish Academy of Music. In 2013, the quartet began a three-year appointment as members of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center’s CMS Two Program. They were named a BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist ensemble for 2013–15, and Musical America named them Ensemble of the Year in 2019. In 2024, the quartet released its third folk-music album, Keel Road.
