Looney Tunes with the Apollo Saxophone Quartet

The groundbreaking Apollo Saxophone Quartet has been at the forefront of the British contemporary music scene for over 35 years, and has made the largest single contribution to the saxophone quartet repertoire in the UK.

The first half of this concert features five new works, specially commissioned for the groups' 40th season, each showcasing different aspects of the quartet’s highly distinctive sound world:

Clare Cope

Trapped

Dani Howard 

Neverland

Jenni Watson

Radius 1 & 2

Grace-Evangeline Mason

In the Fragrant Air

Adam Caird

Saxophonic Movements

The second half sees the premiere of a handpicked selection of vintage cartoons, some dating from as early as 1928, with live music brilliantly re-orchestrated from the original scores by the members of the quartet.

Cartoons:

The Haunted Mouse

The Fox Hunt

Lady Play Your Mandolin

The Impatient Patient
