Czech Saxophone Quartet

ABOUT THE CONCERT

Martinů Hall in Liechtenstein Palace is coloured a shade of blue, but it will be full of the golden syncopations of the Czech Saxophone Quartet. The wind instruments invented by Adolph Sax will play music of the Renaissance (arrangements, of course) and contemporary works.
