Ellipsos Quartet proposes here a meeting between the saxophone, which is reminiscent of the stamp

 

of the organ, and of the vocal quartet so illustrating the archetypal Art of Fugue, through the directory of

 

sacred music, music gospel or works for organ who characterize so well The Musics of Churches. 

 

 

Recognized for their innovative, quality arrangements to see unique, Ellipsos has fun with happiness of

 

making be next to musics of yesterday and today.

 

Excellence and accessibility are key words for this decorating with flowers quartet where the musical magic

 

of the meeting with the public takes generally all its sense.

" Rare and precious qualities " that is what characterized the saxophone, according to Hector Berlioz.

Steve Reich's hypnotic rhythms in the colors of Ravel (The Grave of Couperin

And infernal sound Toccata!), including Jean Françaix's sparkling melodies and an intimist interpretation of the work Porgy and Bess de Georges Gershwin, of which famous "Summertime",

As well as of most not less celebrate Samuel Barber's " adagio ", 

The Quartet Ellipsos makes us discover the saxophone tinged with Blues.

Thanks to its round trip free Paris New York it boards us from a bank to the other one,

through a program tinged with blues, dreamlike and energetic.

 


Since there journeys in New York City in 2007 and 2009, Quatuor Ellipsos wished to pay tribute in the very strong historic alliance between France and USA. This concert in image is completely unpublished because it makes the spectator travel at the same time in music

and also visually thanks to a video projection.

Mozart and Beethoven formed, with Haydn, the first School of Vienna,

which we qualify as " classic period " today.

But the Saxophone, invented some 150 years later (!), was not able to, therefore,

to cross the path of these three wonderful composers....

While would have been able to give this fictitious meeting between the Saxophone

and these geniuses of the classical music?

An extraordinary journey which imagined here the Quatuor Ellipsos....
