Tapas
musical flavors from all over the world
The saxophone quartet SAGS invites you on a musical journey around the globe. With Tapas – Flavours from around the world, we present a varied programme that combines small musical delicacies from different cultures. Rhythmic intensity, touching melodies and virtuoso tone colours merge to create a special experience.
The musical spectrum ranges from the spirited ‘Tapas’ by American composer Marc Mellits to the profound ‘Songs for the Coming Day’ by David Maslanka and atmospheric works by Alexis Ciesla, Marcelo Zarvos and Erland von Koch. A special highlight is the world premiere of a piece by the South Tyrolean composer Elias Mader, which was written especially for our quartet.
You can look forward to modern gems of saxophone literature that present a new cultural facet with each composition – small but fine samples that leave a great impression.
*This programme is also very suitable in combination with a wine tasting.
