Opus 13
The Swedish-Norwegian string quartet Opus13 is one of Europe's most promising, up-and-coming young ensembles. The quartet was formed in 2014 and consists of Sonoko Miriam Welde, Edvard Erdal, Albin Uusijärvi and Daniel Thorell. They are 2nd prize winners of the prestigious Banff International String Quartet Competition 2022. In 2023 they received Equinor's Classical Music Scholarship.
Opus13 has appeared at concert series and festivals such as International Chamber Music Festival Utrecht in the Netherlands, Yeulmaru and Yonsei Chamber Music Festival in South Korea, Rusk Festival in Finland, Swiss Chamber Concerts, and many of the large and small festivals in Norway, including Festspillene i Bergen, Stavanger Kammermusikkfestival, Rosendal Kammermusikkfestival, Trondheim Kammermusikkfestival and Risør Kammermusikkfest. Highlights in 2024 include debuts in Scotland and the USA.
Opus13 has collaborated with leading international musicians such as Janine Jansen, Olli Mustonen, Julian Bliss, Alisa Weilerstein, Tabea Zimmermann, Jonathan Biss and Konstantin Heidrich. They are mentored by Berit Cardas and Bjørg Lewis of the Vertavo Quartet, and have benefited from masterclasses with many of the world's leading chamber musicians, including members of the Belcea Quartet, Quatuor Ébène, Artemis Quartett, Oslo String Quartet and Quatuor Mosaïques. In their first years, Opus13 received invaluable support and concert experience from the talent programme of Oslo Quartet Series and the mentor programme of Crescendo.
Opus13 are the founders and artistic directors of the chamber music festival Vinterspill in Lillehammer.
