NEW REEDS SAXOPHONE 4ET

Andrea Mocci - soprano saxophone

Dario Balzan - alto saxophone

Moreno Castagna - tenor saxophone

Marco Bressan - baritone saxophone

The quartet presents a program featuring composers such as George Gershwin, Astor Piazzolla, Javier Girotto, Thierry Escaich, Michael Nyman, Pedro Iturralde, and Philip Glass, as well as a series of works by young composers, performed in world premieres and dedicated to the ensemble.

With Argentine saxophonist Javier Girotto, the quartet can perform works by Girotto himself (La Poesia, Il Senso della Vita, Para la Abuela Elisa, Passione in fuga, etc.).

With orchestra, the quartet performs the Concerto for Saxophone Quartet and Orchestra by Philip Glass.

The quartet was founded in 2007 from the meeting of four musicians who decided to take on the classical repertoire for this ensemble, while also venturing into certain ethno-jazz contexts through selected works by contemporary composers.
