Ancia Saxophone Quartet
Thursday, October 22, 2009
Gantner Concert Hall, Haas Fine Arts | 7:30 P.M.
The Ancia Saxophone Quartet was founded in 1990 to create and
perform new works for saxophone quartet as
well as traditional
saxophone quartet repertoire. Based
in Minneapolis–St. Paul,
the quartet has performed
concerts and presented educational
workshops in the United States, Canada, Korea, and Europe.
The group’s first CD, Variations, includes selections
by Gershwin,
Bach and Duke Ellington along with
music composed especially
for the quartet. A second
disc to be released on Naxos will feature
works written for the quartet by American composers. The Ancia
Saxophone Quartet has premiered many
compositions written
expressly for the group, including commissions underwritten by
the
American Composers Forum/Jerome Foundation and The
Commission Project.
