ExclusIVe Saxophone Quartet

ExclusIVe Saxophone Quartet: Born September 2010, the ExclusIVe Saxophone Quartet is composed by musicians from various music experiences in Italian and foreign important musical associations, events and chamber festival.

Thanks to the combination of professionalism and freshness of their repertoire, the result is an high-level musical product that combines classic repertoire for saxophone quartet, both original and transcriptions, contemporary music and pieces "borrowed" from jazz, swing and soundtracks. A few months after its creation it has been acclaimed with excellent feedback in the classical music environment (selected for the prestigious recording-concert at Radio Vaticana in December 2010), distinguishing itself as a strong advocate of new music as the dedicatee of many new works by contemporary composers (Roberto Scarcella Perino, Alessandro Fabbri, Raffaele Bellafronte, Edoardo Dinelli, Giuseppe Bruno). It performes in chamber music season programmes of several important associations, such as Museo Nazionale del Bargello, Florence – Teatro Goldoni, Livorno – Filarmonica Laudamo, Messina – Araba Fenice, Terni – Tenuta dello Scompiglio, Lucca – Piano Time, Steingraeber Haus, Bayreuth, Lerici Music Festival, just to name a few. The Quartet is constantly renewing its repertoire by inserting new pieces, arrangements and transcriptions for quartet and piano quintet. This versatile and dynamic ensemble, thanks to the pianist Giuseppe Bruno, manages to give life to a quintet able to propose an even wider repertoire, elegantly passing from Schumann to Gershwin, brand new quintet contemporary repertoire or transcriptions from other chamber or orchestral works.
