Ametri – Ametri String Quartet

Outstanding performers

Outstanding performers have always been key elements in musical history when it comes to evolution. High standards of both technical ability and artistic creativity inspire composers in their work, allowing the new and never before heard to emerge. This release includes works of six Norwegian composers written for Ametri.

The name Ametri is the antipode to Symmetry. Ametri String Quartet made its debut at Truls Mørk’s Stavanger International Chamber Music Festival in 1997, in a program including works by the festival composer Kaipainen. From the get go it was evident that Ametri represents quartet playing of extreme power and technical finesse. Working in close partnership with designers, painters and architects, they always choose their concert venues so that it allows the audience better to perceive contemporary aesthetics in context. They have also performed together with techno groups in different settings. Another key element has been the collaboration with multi media artist Randy Naylor.
