An Evening Full of Colors: 4sax-Saxophone Quartet Brings Bayreuth to Life
The Tonkünstlerverband Bayreuth invites you to a special concert evening on Sunday, September 27, 2026, in the Great Organ Hall of the College for Protestant Church Music. The 4sax-Saxophone Quartet featuring Johannes Neuner, Konstantin Yakovlev, Anna-Christine Brand, and Maximilian Schramm unveils a program that makes the tonal diversity of the saxophone audible in all its shades.
Sound Journey Between Classics, Jazz, and Contemporary
The journey begins with the early expressiveness of the instrument and spans from French concert music, jazz, film music, and tango nuevo to contemporary works. The contrast becomes particularly appealing when Bach's Italian Concerto, arranged for saxophone, meets the rhythmic energy of later styles. This creates a concert experience that is not only virtuosic but also rich in narrative.
A Quartet with Character and Playing Enjoyment
The program relies on four voices that support, play around, and constantly blend with each other. The fascination of the saxophone quartet lies particularly in the fine synchronization of attack, breath, and articulation. For lovers of live atmosphere, this ensemble works with precision and warmth, filling the space with colorful sound.
The Great Organ Hall as a Stage for Fine Dynamics
The College for Protestant Church Music offers a bright, acoustically versatile setting for chamber music and stylistically open concert formats in its Great Organ Hall. With space for up to 530 people, cloakroom, foyer, and good technical equipment, the hall creates ideal conditions for a differentiated stage performance. The information on accessibility, the barrier-free restroom, and the own parking lot also indicate a well-organized concert evening.
Premiere Moment with Contemporary Note
A highlight of the evening is the world premiere of the Toccata minima by Pegnitz composer Michael Starke. Such moments add extra excitement to a concert, as they not only solemnly embed the familiar but also introduce something new. That is precisely the strength of this evening: tradition, present, and immediate audience atmosphere intertwine.
Conclusion: A Concert for Ears, Heart, and Curiosity
The 4sax-Saxophone Quartet promises an inspiring evening in Bayreuth between classical forms, jazzy freedom, and modern sound language. Anyone wishing to experience sensitive chamber music with expressive energy should not miss this free concert in the Great Organ Hall.
