PROTÉGÉ SPOTLIGHT: Bassist Nina Bernat

Portland State University

Swedish Norwegian ensemble Opus13 soared to success in the Final of the 16th Wigmore Hall International String Quartet Competition in April 2025 with a sensational performance of Beethoven’s String Quartet Op. 130. Its returns to the Hall for an eagerly-awaited Winner’s Concert, opening with Mozart’s ‘Dissonance’ Quartet with its near-operatic cast of contrasting themes and moods, before turning to the impassioned lyricism of Grieg’s four-movement First String Quartet.
