Meet the Cool and Versatile Engegård Quartet, Masters of Classical and Folk Music
The Engegård Quartet is breaking barriers and showcasing their musical talents in ways you’ve never seen before!

The Quartet also takes listeners on an emotional journey with pieces such as “A Bride’s Journey,” a hauntingly beautiful arrangement of a wedding march from Eide. Through their impeccable playing and deep understanding of the music, the Quartet transports us to the rugged plains of Lapland where we can almost hear the wolves howling in the distance. Each video in the series offers a new perspective on the beautiful sound of the Engegård Quartet.
