The Stockholm Saxophone Quartet, formed in 1969, 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 700 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. The Stockholm Saxophone Quartet is driven by an irrepressible desire continually to test and go beyond the boundaries of what is considered possible in artistic terms. They often perform at international festivals, in opera houses and concert halls. The members of the Quartet are veteran travellers – they have toured throughout Europe (e.g. the Baltic countries, France, Greece, Spain, Russia, Romania, Hungary, Ukraine and Albania) and performed in USA, Japan, Israel, South Africa Egypt, China, and Mongolia, Turkey, Bolivia and Iran. In their travels, the members of the Stockholm Saxophone Quartet present Swedish music to the wider world and bring home with them new musical encounters and experiences to share with the Swedish audience. Since 2016, Stockholm Saxophone Quartet has arranged and produced Svensk Musikvår, a week long festival presenting Swedish contemporary music in Stockholm. The festival has come to be a unique and yearly manifesto for contemporary music and it is supported by Sweden’s most important cultural institutions.
