Siggi String Quartet South Of The Circle

Siggi String Quartet was founded in 2012 during the Young Scandinavian Composers festival in Reykjavik. The quartet has actively collaborated with current composers and commissioned and premiered numerous works by various composers. The quartet's repertoire extends from the renaissance through the classical masters and Siggi String Quartet's four members have great passion for 20th and 21th century repertoire. ''Experimenting with sound and texture, improvisation and life electronics is an important part of our work. It does deepen our understanding of the standard repertoire indirectly, and it goes both ways. This new album explores the richness of Icelandic New Music.''
