Stockholm Saxophone Quartet

Stockholm Saxophone Quartet, formed in 1969, has made a speciality of chamber music for saxophone – by composers from at home and abroad. They also specialise in advanced electro-acoustic music. The members of the Quartet have had over 700 works written for them.
A recurrent feature of their work is the close collaboration they undertake with Swedish and foreign composers, as well as with the composers of the future, particularly at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm. The members of the Quartet hold seminars, take part in concerts and work together with artists in genres other than their own. This approach to their work has meant that their style and skills have rapidly developed and theynow belong among Sweden’s foremost interpretative artists in their particular, very wide- ranging, field. The Stockholm Saxophone Quartet is driven by an irrepressible desire continually to test and go beyond the boundaries of what is considered possible in artistic terms. They often perform at international festivals, in opera houses and concert halls.
The studios at Stora Ängby Allé in Bromma house offices, rehearsal rooms and provide the opportunity to make studio recordings. But it is just as important that the Quartet’s home in Stockholm serves as a meeting-point – for musicians, composers, artists, choreographers and writers. Seminars and educational activities will be held there, together with conferences of various kinds, discussion evenings and concerts on a smaller scale.
