The Stockholm Saxophone Quartet 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 600 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.

The studios at Tulegatan 53 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.

The focal point for contemporary music which the Quartet is creating Tulegatan 53 is also intended to be a springboard for new and artistic endeavour, both at the Swedish and the international level.

This is a FREE concert sponsored by the Swedish embassy and Swedish Arts Council, Africa Open, SAMRO, Helge Ax:son Johnsons Foundation, and presented by the SU Music Department Lunch Hour Concert Series.
