Quartz Saxophone Quartet

  • The Fishermen's Chapel, Leigh-on-Sea New Road Leigh-on-Sea, Essex SS9 2EA United Kingdom (map)

Formed in 1994 while students at Guildhall School, Quartz Saxophone Quartet brings together four of the UK’s top saxophonists - three now Guildhall professors.

Known for their dynamic performances and genre-spanning repertoire, the concert will feature music by composer and baritone saxophonist Mick Foster, together with an eclectic mix of pieces from Quartz's repertoire. The concert will celebrate the release of Quartz's new album of Mick's music on Deux-Elles Classical Recordings.

This will be a memorable evening with these top class performers.

"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
