They founded the quartet in 1995 and have since then established themselves on the concert scene. In 2002, they were invited to a tour in China. Their interest in contemporary music resulted in this CD, which is the debut album of the Aniara Quartet. This devotion also brought them together with accordionist Geir Draugsvoll, with whom they have collaborated closely for the last few years.
