The Stenhammar Quartet consists of violinists Peter Olofsson and Per Ӧman, violist Tony Bauer, and cellist Mats Olofsson, and has established itself as one of Scandinavia’s top string quartets. Wilhelm Stenhammar’s works, as well as other Swedish music, are central in the ensemble’s repertoire, but there is also a great focus on both Viennese Classicism and contemporary music. The quartet has commissioned works from Swedish composers such as Sven-David Sandström, Victoria Borisova-Ollas, and Per Mårtensson, but have also had works dedicated to them, and performed premieres of pieces by American, British, Finnish and Norwegian composers. The quartet has recorded some 40 works for Swedish Radio P2, and participated in a concert series recorded by Swedish Radio including all of Stenhammar’s chamber music, in 2011. Their recordings have been celebrated both in Swedish and international press. They have participated in festivals, toured in Germany, England, India, and Algeria, for instance, and performed in TV contexts such as the Melody Festival and the Polar Music Prize.
