The San Jose based MANA SAXOPHONE QUARTET, called a "groundbreaking ensemble" by the Los Angeles Chronicle, has repeatedly won high praise from today's leading composers. Noted as "...a new bright light in the world of chamber music" by Pulitzer Prize winners Charles Wuorinen and Ellen Taafe Zwilich, MANA has been championed as "Saxophone Ambassadors" by Chamber Music Magazine.
Since its inception in 2007, the ensemble has premiered dozens of new compositions and has given new life to many underrepresented original masterworks. Using vintage instruments built to the acoustical specifications of the saxophone's inventor, Adolphe Sax, MANA's impassioned performances offer a refined aesthetic characterized by intrinsic warmth, dynamic range of character, and absolute versatility.
Performers in MANA are Michael Hernandez, soprano saxophone Michael Mortarotti, alto saxophone Diane Hunger, tenor saxophone and Thomas Giles, baritone saxophone.
Tonight's program includes Bach's Italian Konzert Mozart Oboe Quartet in F Major Glazunov Quartett, Op. 109 Tristan Keuris' Music for Saxophones and Philip Glass' Saxophone Quartet - A splendid reception for audience and musicians follows the concert.
