The Vertavo String Quartet has firmly established itself as one of the most exciting ensembles of today. Still only in their early thirties, these four friends have performed together for over 20 years, having formed their quartet in Oslo in 1984. On top of a long line of prizes and accolades in June 2005, the Quartet were honoured with the Grieg-Prize 2005; a prize bestowed on an artist of high international standing and of which former recipients include Leif Ove Andsnes, Truls Mørk and the Grieg Trio.
