In a thoroughly respectful manner, the players boldly mix various styles and influences of European music tradition with American and European jazz. Beyond stylistic boundaries, new visual axes and cross-connections emerge in music.

In a moving musical performance, sometimes also beyond the stage, arrangements sound alongside original compositions and improvisations. A lively concert activity and a constantly growing repertoire, a large part of which was performed by heart, make the ensemble a sworn ensemble of modern chamber music.

The four musicians grew up in the European music tradition, fell for jazz and eventually became musical border crossers. They studied at the Hochschule für Musik “Hanns Eisler” Berlin, where the ensemble was founded. Furthermore, they work in various jazz and chamber music ensembles, in theatre projects and as lecturers at Berlin music schools and at the Academy of Music “Hanns Eisler”. Numerous concerts have taken her through Europe, the USA, Canada and East Africa.

SAXOFONQUADRAT celebrated its twentieth anniversary in 2017. So far “Jazz, Tango, Early Music”, “Contrapunkt”, “Tänze” and “Weihnachten” have been released on CD.

“Flexibility and sophistication in great sonority, classically enriched and modern improvised”
Bayrische Rundschau

“Exciting arrangements transform early music into ultra-modern works without betraying its original characteristics.”
