Four seasoned Copenhagen-based soloists and chamber musicians – Kumi Shimizu (violin), Stine Hasbirk (viola), Toke Møldrup (cello) and Emil Gryesten (piano) – have founded a new ensemble named Saga Piano Quartet. The quartet gave its debut concert on Sunday, 2 November, at Nørresundby Town Hall as part of the Rådhuskoncerter series. The programme featured works by Mozart, Frank Bridge, Søren Nils Eichberg and Dora Pejačević.
The concert was recorded by Danish Radio P2 and will be broadcast in P2 Koncerten on Friday, 7 November.
An accompanying essay to Emil Gryesten’s new Chopin album is now available on the ConFuoco Records website. The text discusses the artistic and interpretive ideas behind the recording of 24 Preludes, Op. 28 and Sonata No. 2 in B-flat minor, performed on an Érard piano from 1837.
The concert calendar has been updated with Emil Gryesten’s upcoming concerts for Autumn 2025.

A trio concert in Lemvig Musikforening on October 5 with August Finkas (clarinet) and Morten Lyngs (violin), performing works by Mozart, Bartók, and Stravinsky.More
