The quartet standing with their instruments on a pavement in front of the bricked-in arches of a bridge
At the forefront of British contemporary music for over 35 years

Traditional Bulgarian music, a piece by Django Bates, along with black-and-white cartoons from the ’30s and ’40s accompanied by Quartet members. The Manchester-based Apollo Saxophone Quartet has commissioned and premiered more than 100 works.

The Quartet has always thrived by creating the sound world in which it operates, always innovating, always leading, always moving on to the next project without looking back, and are set to continue in the same manner!

"Jazz rhythms met minimalism in a lyrical embrace; motifs and patterns chased tails in music instantly attractive, but never vacuous…the phenomenal skill of the Apollo four…the silkiest transformation from furnace blast to the softest whisper this side of the Milky Way" - The Times
