Berlioz SAXophone Quartet

The "H. Berlioz" Saxophone Quartet was formed in 1996, and is made up of Alessio Tavernini (Soprano Saxophone), Luca Malesardi (Alto Saxophone), Ruber Marani (Tenor Saxophone) and Matteo Comai (Baritone Saxophone). The ensemble has won numerous international competitions and has given concerts at various important venues, including performances at the Bibiena Theatre in Mantova, and at the following international festivals: Toscana delle Culture, Accademia Amiata, Santa Fiora in Musica, Soroptimist International and ARTI.CO.

While the quartet enjoys bringing new life to the traditional compositions for four saxophones, it has also given several world premieres of new repertoire, and presented many works of considerable musical merit by relatively unknown composers.
