The Bellevue String Quartet plays Haydn and Mozart string quartets, including the nature-inspired "Sunrise" and "Bird" quartets and Mozart's "Hunt" quartet. The programme is paired with haiku by Birk Andersson and short poems gathered from the audience, bringing out the lively and often playful imagery of the poetry alongside the music.
The quartet plays period instruments, the only one of its kind in Scandinavia, and mixes classical repertoire with newly commissioned works, 17th-century consort music and arrangements of opera arias and Scandinavian folk tunes. Based in Malmö, the ensemble also performs widely across the Øresund region.
