The Spiral Saxophone Quartet are a lively ensemble who are equally at home on the concert stage and educational music workshop. The group invest a great deal of time and creative energy bringing contemporary classical and other genres of music to new audiences, and believe there should be fewer boundaries between the audience and those who perform for them. After two decades of playing together they are a widely experienced group of performers and educators. The group can provide music for a wide range of events from full concert recitals, workshops and children’s concerts to function music for weddings and parties.
