Join Versa Winds for a vibrant recital exploring the musical journeys and identities of four classically trained saxophonists forging their own way through a diverse musical landscape. This programme showcases the remarkable versatility of the saxophone quartet—an ensemble that defies easy categorisation—and reflects the personal and artistic paths its members have taken.

Featuring works by Jean Rivier, Bob Mintzer, and Jennifer Higdon, alongside beloved arrangements of Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue and Bernstein’s West Side Story, this concert seamlessly blends classical precision with the energy of jazz and musical theatre.

For the musicians of Versa Winds, chamber music is both a return to their classical roots and a rare space for creative freedom. Each piece in this recital speaks to the ensemble’s shared love of expressive, genre-spanning music, and their desire to bring audiences into the unique and often lesser-experienced world of the saxophone quartet.

Whether you’re a seasoned classical listener or simply curious, Between the Notes: Where Genres Meet promises a compelling mix of styles, colours, and stories performed with spirit, skill, and sincerity.
