SONORITÉ SAXOPHONE QUARTET

Based in London, Sonorité Quartet are a vibrant and young saxophone quartet striving to make the world of classical saxophone music more accessible to the everyday listener. The quartet formed out of close friendship first, which can be seen unmistakably in our performances, sharing a passion for chamber music together and playing a wide range of repertoire from Minimalism to Musical Theatre classics. We pride ourselves on our varied recital programmes which can also be tailored to suit audience demographics, rarely consisting of any single style or genre. The quartet provides a fresh take on saxophone chamber music that is elegant, virtuosic, and an interactive experience for all. 

 Sonorité Quartet perform and have even commissioned works and arrangements from new and upcoming young, female or otherwise underrepresented composers including prize-winning British composer Charlotte Botterill, which not only represent valuable additions to the saxophone quartet repertoire but also help to grow the profile of these gifted artists. If you have a piece for us to play and record, please get in touch!

 Each of us are each dedicated and engaging teachers, keen for opportunities to play for and offer guidance to students of all ages, including both young saxophonists and composers. Sonorité have a variety of programmes designed for schools and community venues to encourage the uptake of classical saxophone lessons!
