In the organizer's words:

aDevantgarde #18
Music Festival Made by Composers

BEAUTY

The aDevantgarde - Festival of Composers is taking place for the 18th time this summer. Alexander Strauch and Markus Lehmann-Horn have put together a program that focuses on the concept of beauty. What is beautiful, in new music and in general? Which concepts go beyond mere questions of taste today? In this sense, aDevantgarde #18 invites you to a very beautiful festival.

Quasar Saxophone Quartet (Montreal)
Works by Florence Tremblay, Maxime Mckinley and Francis Battah (Quebec/Canada) and Philipp C. Mayer, Alexander Strauch and Abigél Varga (aDevantgarde)

The Quasar Saxophone Quartet has launched many new works and is not only an important voice in new music in Canada, but is considered one of the most important saxophone quartets in the world. As the youngest woodwind instrument, the saxophone is one of the instruments with the greatest possible playing techniques. With six new works, the musicians of the Quasar Saxophone Quartet explore utopian or affirmative ideas of new beauty.

The concert will be followed by a reception for all visitors.

Mathieu Leclair (alto saxophone), André Leroux (tenor saxophone), Marie-Chantal Leclair (soprano saxophone), Jean-Marc Bouchard (baritone saxophone)
