From classic standards to fresh and experimental

Jór Saxofonkvartet is based in Aarhus and consists of four particularly talented, classically trained saxophonists.

All four of them are active soloists and chambermusicians and several bands and have played uncountable concerts in Norway, Sweden, FInland, Latvia, Italy, Spain, Slovenia, Russia, England, France, China, Japan and the USA. Each of them has won chamber music competitions at home and abroad.

The quartet's repertoire consists of a broad palette of music in the classical genre, from standard pieces and transcriptions of string quartets to fresh and experimental compositions.

The House is a new festival in Aarhus that takes place in an old, rustical workshop that used to be a smithy in the town’s gasworks. Here, there will be a lineup of musicians who have been featured based on their musical ideas and accomplishments rather than their genre. Some of the tunes will be composed and others improvised. The idea is to allow genres and art forms to inspire each other.
