Apollo Saxophone Quartet
Classical Music Alive 24/25
Rob Buckland
Carl Raven
Andy Scott
Jim Fieldhouse
Celebrating 40 years at the forefront of the UK contemporary music scene, tonight’s performance forms part of the Apollo Quartet’s extensive concert tour for this landmark season and comprises two contrasting halves - the first set featuring six of this season’s commissions, melodic, uplifting, engaging and varied new works from some of the most exciting new generation of UK composers, adding to the ASQs continuing legacy of over 100 works written for the group in the last 40 years.
The second set features the Quartet’s acclaimed music with silent film project. Expect acrobatic flies, dancing pigs, collapsing bridges, drunken hallucinations, exploding heads and an infernal cakewalk, all vividly set to music and performed live to film in the age old tradition from the very first years of the moving image.
