The Absalon String Quartet<\/strong> is a young Nordic quartet formed by musicians from Denmark, Sweden, and Norway<\/strong>, based in Copenhagen. The ensemble was formed during the 2020 lockdown at the initiative of its two violinists, Thera Ortved and Andreas Lienh\u00f8ft Larsen<\/strong>. Its name refers to Absalon<\/strong>, a historical figure closely linked to the founding and development of Copenhagen. The lineup is currently completed by Alva Rasmussen, viola, and Hedda Lydianna Aadland<\/span>, cello<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Shortly after its creation, the quartet won First Prize in the first edition of the Rued Langgaard Competition<\/strong> in 2021. In 2023, it won the Danish Radio Chamber Music Competition<\/strong>, where it also became one of the audience’s favorite ensembles, and subsequently received the L\u00e9onie Sonning Talent Prize<\/strong>. In 2025, it achieved one of its main international successes by winning Second Prize and the Audience Award at the Trondheim International Chamber Music Competition<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

The Absalon String Quartet is currently pursuing a two-year master’s degree in chamber music at the Robert Schumann Hochschule in D\u00fcsseldorf<\/strong>, where they work with Eckart Runge<\/strong>, a member of the Artemis Quartett. They have also received regular training from Tim Frederiksen<\/strong> and members of the Danish String Quartet<\/strong> at the Royal Danish Academy of Music. Through programs and masterclasses from institutions such as Jeunesses Musicales Deutschland, ECMA, and ProQuartet<\/strong>, the ensemble has worked with musicians such as G\u00fcnter Pichler, Heime M\u00fcller, H\u00e9l\u00e8ne Cl\u00e9ment, Eugene Drucker<\/strong>, and David Harrington<\/strong>, as well as composers Missy Mazzoli<\/strong> and Jessie Montgomery<\/strong>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":83228,"template":"","categoria-grupo":[94,142],"class_list":["post-83227","grupo","type-grupo","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","categoria-grupo-cuerda","categoria-grupo-instituto"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nAbsalon Quartet - Escuela Superior de M\u00fasica Reina Sof\u00eda<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.escuelasuperiordemusicareinasofia.es\/en\/grupo\/absalon-quartet\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Absalon Quartet - Escuela Superior de M\u00fasica Reina Sof\u00eda\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The Absalon String Quartet is a young Nordic quartet formed by musicians from Denmark, Sweden, and Norway, based in Copenhagen.
