The Budapest Saxophone Quartet was formed in 1995, as the first representative of this musical genre in Hungary. Since then, the Quartet gives concerts both in Hungary and abroad (Japan, USA, Canada, Sicily, Spain, Greece, France, Israel, etc.) regularly, and has been recorded on television and in radio many times. Several well-known Hungarian and foreign composers dedicate their musical pieces to them.
The Budapest Saxophone Quartet has won six international prizes (Germany, Italy, etc.) and they also won 1st prize at the performance competiton of the Ferenc Liszt Academy of Music Budapest, Hungary twice. They took part on several international master classes with professors from Austria, Netherlands, USA, France.
They perform with symphonic orchestras and wind bands in Hungary and abroad (WASBE Festival / Schladming, Austria) often, and give concerts with famous opera singers, piano, harpsichord, flute, oboe, trumpet players and jazz trio regularly. 2004 they perfomed in a special theatre-play "Whodunit" by Friedrich Dürrenmatt in the main theatre of Budapest for a season. The music of this piece was written especially for the Quartet.
The Quartet made six CD-records by itself, and also participates in other five recordings. All of the members of the Budapest Saxophone Quartet graduated at the Ferenc Liszt Music Academy Budapest and at the Conservatoire Supérieur Paris, France.
The exclusive instrument-sponsor of the Budapest Saxophone Quartet is Selmer, Paris.
