Event information
Formed in 1994 as Guildhall students, the Quartz Saxophone Quartet unites four of the UK’s leading saxophonists – three of whom now teach at the School.
Known for their dynamic performances and boundary-pushing repertoire, Quartz returns to Guildhall to launch their new CD on Deux-Elles Classical Recordings, featuring works by composer and baritone saxophonist Mick Foster.
The programme includes works from the album as well as large ensemble pieces by Steve Reich, Christian Forshaw and Foster himself, performed in collaboration with current Guildhall saxophone students.
This concert is a vibrant celebration of Guildhall’s saxophone legacy, bringing together generations of talent.
"Mick Foster’s two new saxophone quartets are two of the most substantial and valuable additions to the saxophone quartet repertoire in the past 25 years. These fantastic new compositions from one of the UK’s leading saxophonists deserve the widest possible support and recognition." – Tom Bruton, Saxtet Publications
