Quintessence Saxophone Quintet - a cinematic suite

In many countries and on countless stages around the world, the Quintessence Saxophone Quintet has brought its audiences to storms of applause. The world-class musicians add a completely new and magnificent dimension to classical music, heard anew through the ears of the present day and infused with elements of jazz. Virtuosity, a unique sound, energetic playing and an unmistakable stage presence have not only filled thirteen albums and video recordings, but are the main reasons for their outstanding live success from America to Asia: in thirty years of band history, the quintet has become one of the most successful saxophone ensembles ever.

Following its hugely successful programs on Bach, Beethoven and Tchaikovsky, among others, the ensemble dares to build another musical bridge and presents its new masterpiece in 2024: "a cinematic suite". The program includes classics by John Williams and Ennio Morricone, for example, as well as a few less prominent gems from the history of film music, rearranged in the incomparable Quintessence style and thus freshly revitalized for a cinematic journey full of emotion and adventure.

The musicians Uli Lettermann (soprano saxophone, arrangement), Jonas Buschsieweke (alto saxophone), Thorsten Floth (tenor saxophone), Roland Danyi (tenor saxophone) and Anatole Gomersall (baritone saxophone) form a virtuoso ensemble that moves off the beaten track of chamber music and jazz. Their passion for music and the saxophone make every concert an unforgettable experience. Quintessence Saxophone Quintet offers nothing less than the quintessence of music and a lasting and enduring concert experience that more than deserves the name.
