The NOVO Quartet—its name meaning “new”—embodies curiosity and a spirit of discovery that has already led the ensemble, trained by Tim Frederiksen, to success at the Geneva and Carl Nielsen competitions. Their debut album Track 1 revisits the group’s origins, featuring Shostakovich’s String Quartet No. 8, the first work they played together; Matias Vestergaard’s HJERTEBLAD (“heart-leaf”), marking their entry into contemporary music; and Carl Nielsen’s First Quartet, honoring Denmark’s great composer and launching a planned complete cycle. Track 1 tells a story of beginnings, showcasing NOVO’s expressive intensity, unity, and musical depth as a rising world-class ensemble.
