Summer Classics with "SAGS Quartet"

Summer Classics: Classic concert with the "SAGS Quartet" in the Culture House in Seis am Schlern. The four musicians Sonja Wallnöfer, Greta Franzelin, Sonja Oberkofler and Alex Designori came together through their shared South Tyrolean origins and energetic passion for chamber music. The four saxophonists completed their musical training in various places in Austria, Switzerland and the Netherlands. The ensemble has been sharing its passion for music with audiences since 2020. The "SAGS Quartet" has already performed at various concert halls and festivals, including the Brucknerhaus Linz, the Alpen Classica Festival and the Kulturverein Musik & Kirche. The ensemble's repertoire includes original works and arrangements of classical and contemporary music, reflecting the broad spectrum of tonal facets of the saxophone. The ensemble's creativity and constant curiosity for other art forms helps the quartet to constantly come up with new ideas and ultimately interdisciplinary collaborations and performances. In this way, the "SAGS Quartet" gains a foothold in the world of music theatre, but also explores the fusion of literature and music. This joy of experimentation is uniquely reflected in the concert programmes. The four saxophonists have made a name for themselves not only as musicians who perform, but also as educators. In this respect, the young audience, the listeners of tomorrow, are very important to the ensemble. With their music education programme, they visit primary and secondary schools with the aim of introducing young audiences to the world of classical saxophone.
