Happy New Year

Yes, Happy 2014!!

A blog is difficult to keep current. I look some of these posts from the past couple of years and I want to start over from scratch! So a little house cleaning is in order and it will happen.

In the meantime, 2014 is here and the Washington Saxophone Quartet is looking forward to concerts that will celebrate the 200th Anniversary of the birth of Adolphe Sax, the inventor of the saxophone. We will kick off the year with a program on February 7 at the Barns at Wolf Trap in Vienna, Virginia.
For details/tickets you can go visit their website: http://www.wolftrap.org/Barns/Discovery_Series.aspx
The music ranges from a piece from 1879 by Caryl Florio, the first originalAmerican work for saxophone quartet and a work by Jean Baptiste Singelee ... likely the first original composition for quartet published in 1857.
Lot's of other music is on the program, which can be seen at the Wolf Trap website.

We'll be in Florida in March for a couple of concerts in Fort Myers.

There are often changes and additions throughout the season so keep in touch and we look forward to seeing you at the concert!
