Clair-obscur, a Renaissance painting technique in which opposing light and dark tones are used to symbolize heavenly and earthly elements, is the visual equivalent of the sounds the quartet produces. These two poles can also be found in the quartet’s composition: two female and two male musicians in one ensemble create a unique musical energy. The main focus of the group is chamber music. The highly sought after ensemble concentrates not only on original works written for saxophone quartet but also greatly expands and enriches its repertoire with unexpected transcriptions and arrangements.
