Signe is not only a wonderful cellist but also naturally gifted amateur violist and clarinetist. Every new instrument comes to her with ease – same as with sports and snacking on candy. In her spare time, she likes to go for hikes, exercise, read, knit, watch videos of her favorite families on Instagram, and to play with her hair.

A world champion of cycling with the cello on her back, Signe is also our travel agent, helping with booking plane and train tickets, since she is the one making friends with all the possible airline customer services (extra cello ticket). To some of her other accomplishments it is worth to mention that she is a founder of a NOVO’s grading system, which goes from 0 to INSANE, scale often used to judge dining experiences all around the world.

What distinguishes Signe’s cello playing is definitely the undeniable elegance and sense of beauty. Throughout the years in the quartet, she has gained a powerful, diva-like cello voice which creates the base for the NOVO quartet sound. Remarkably stable intonation and clarity are definitely rare qualities – so desired in the string quartet setting – which Signe owns with no doubt.
