We are thrilled to announce that Amanda Håøy Hornjoins the Engegård Quartet as our new Second Violin.
"From the very first moment with the Engegård Quartet, I felt among kindred spirits, with the same love for quartet-playing and the string quartet repertoire. It is a gift to join a group which has found its united voice, and the fact that Norwegian and Scandinavian music-including folk, classical, and contemporary-are an important part of the quartet's profile makes me feel at home in more ways than one. I'm excited about what lies ahead!"
— Amanda Håøy Horn, Second Violin
"I look forward to every rehearsal with Amanda. I feel that we discover the music together and I value her careful approach. The funny thing is, is that we have finally 'come home'; Amanda grew up a stone's throw from where we rehearse. As we say in Norwegian, you don't have to cross the river to find water."
— Arvid Engegård, First Violin
Amanda succeeds Laura Custodio Sabas, who departs the quartet after 4 remarkable years of musical collaboration.
The Engegård Quartet will always be grateful for Laura's passionate approach to music and quartet-playing, and for her interest in contemporary music which lead to exciting commissions. They wish her the very best of luck!
