New Nordic Chamber Folk.
Music that moves in the border between the classical tradition and folk music and has a foot and heart in both genres.

In 2023 DFQ released their debut album “Nattens favn” and played at Tønder Festival (DK). In 2024 they DFQ played at Windros Festival (DE) and Davinde Festival (DK) and were nominated as “New Roots Name of the Year” at the Danish Music Awards

“In short, a fine, versatile record, on which the playing is simply superb. Can one expect much more? I didn’t think so and for a piece like the closing Læsehesten (Reading Horse) you can always wake me up, that’s a song you would like to be able to write yourself. Lacking that talent, I’ll just listen to it again and again, but that’s anything but a punishment.” rootstime.be, Belgium by Dani Heyvaert

“It’s a top-notch cast. And an album of just as high class. It’s all chamber music, new folk music – the transitions between the two genres are fluid. Particularly beautiful are the two songs sung by Ditte and Jørgen (“Peace of the Night” and “The Embrace of the Night”). ” FolkMagasin, Germany by Martin Czech

Danish Fiddle Quartet is a string quartet formed by violinist Jørgen Dickmeiss. With this string quartet, Jørgen Dickmeiss lives out an old dream of playing chamber folk music and has assembled a quartet consisting of two classical musicians and two folk musicians. The quartet plays newly written compositions by Jørgen Dickmeiss and arrangements of Nordic folk melodies and by Carl Nielsen.

The quartet consists of violinists Jørgen Dickmeiss and Ditte Fromseier Hockings, who are both well-known and well established names on the Danish and international folk music scene, as well as Bruno Sanches and Mathilde Helding on viola and cello, respectively, from the young Danish classical elite. The quartet’s two singers, Ditte Fromseier and Jørgen Dickmeiss, can also be heard in several of the pieces.

“Open-minded listeners, from both the folk and classical worlds, can indulge in well-executed sound. ” Rootszone, Nils Thorlund
