Strings and Saxophone 2025-2026
This program creates a bridge between the 18th and 21st centuries, offering a striking contrast between the classical elegance of Mozart and Bologne and the dramatic intensity of Banks and López. Each piece highlights a distinct facet of the string quartet. Steven Banks, the renowned ambassador of classical saxophone, will also demonstrate how his instrument adds a unique flavour when paired with strings!
