8 great ensembles have competed in Studio 2 of the DR Koncerthuset in Copenhagen. We have heard Taffanel, Danzi, Otto Mortensen and Carl Nielsen 8 times - and what a difference in expression! The jury has made their choice: see the 6 quintets who are proceeding to the 2nd round and the schedule here. They will all play the new commissioned piece from Athanasia Kotronia - the best interpretation of that wins a prize - and you can hear Hindemith, Schönberg, Ligeti and Kalevi Aho. Go for the livestream right here from 12 o'clock on Friday!
