Norwegian violinist Eldbjørg Hemsing, German cellist Benedict Kloekner, American double bassist Nicholas Schwartz, and Ukrainian pianist Anna Fedorova unite as a dynamic ensemble distinguished by their exceptional artistry and deeply communicative performances. Hemsing brings her radiant tone and imaginative musicality, shaped by a flourishing international solo career; Kloekner contributes his acclaimed expressiveness and refined cello sound; Schwartz adds the rare depth and agility of a world-class double bassist celebrated for both solo and chamber work; and Fedorova provides her signature poetic pianism and powerful musical sensitivity. Together, they form a remarkable quartet of like-minded musicians whose diverse backgrounds and shared passion create performances of striking color, intimacy, and emotional resonance.
