The Engegård Quartet has been directing and hosting the classical minifestival “1-2-3…” since 2016 when they started with 1-2-3 Schumann. Formed under the midnight sun in Lofoten in 2005, the Engegård Quartet has rapidly become one of Norway’s most sought after ensembles. Their bold, fresh interpretations of the classical repertoire combined with a deep attachment to their Scandinavian roots has attracted international acclaim, and inspired some innovative partnerships and programming.
This year's 1–2–3 festival explores the life and music of Fanny and Felix Mendelssohn — through music, film, dance, theatre and conversation featuring an array of renowned artists. 8-10 November Nynorskenshus, Oslo.
