Wood Works invites audiences into the intersection of classical precision and folk poetry. Each piece is more than a tune—it's a snapshot of Nordic life, culture, and history, lovingly curated and transformed through the quartet’s virtuosic interpretation. The music carries the whisper of village dances, the creak of wooden floors, the simplicity of communal celebrations, and the bittersweet beauty of memory.

As you listen, let your imagination wander: to weddings on Fanø, to dusty barns warmed by fiddle strains, to evenings by candlelight in the Scandinavian countryside. This is folk music reimagined—not preserved as a museum piece, but reborn as living, breathing chamber music. In addition to selections from Wood Works, we’ll share some of the Danish String Quartet’s own spellbinding arrangements of Christmas carols, blending holiday warmth with Nordic charm.
