Washington Saxophone Quartet and Anastasia Robinson, Soprano, to Perform in New London
Summer Music Associates presents the Washington Saxophone Quartet on Thursday, July 12.
The Washington Saxophone Quartet is the most widely heard saxophone quartet in the United States.  Formed in 1976, WSaxQ has performed recitals, concerts, and master classes in the United States, the Caribbean, and China. The quartet has also been featured on radio and television worldwide including NPR’s “Performance Today” and “Voice of America.”

The ensemble taps into a rich repertoire from early music to newly commissioned works and draws on a wealth of experience to reach listeners of every age and background. The instruments evoke the refined sounds of a string quartet, the rich harmonies of an organ prelude, and the excitement of a jazz sax section. In concert, the quartet guides the audience with commentary and insight into the music.  It is the goal of the Washington Saxophone Quartet to enlighten its listeners and to entertain with the highest levels of performance.

On Thursday, July 26, Anastasia Robinson, soprano extraordinaire who is equally at home in opera, oratorio and art song, will perform a delightful program of folk and popular songs composed by Bartok, Dvorak, Obradors, Grainger, Amy Beach, and selections from American musical theater.

Both concerts begin at 7:30 PM at the First Baptist Church in New London.
