8.30 pm Arcis Saxophone Quartet - sold out

The four young musicians from Munich inspire the audience with burning passion and let the spark fly in this rare formation of chamber music with their charismatic and authentic stage presence.

The quartet is taking the stages of the world by storm: after their international debut in the Great Hall of the Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Moscow and Wigmore Hall in London, another milestone in their career follows in 2017: an invitation to the Berlin Philharmonic.

The year 2013 was marked by important international successes: 1st prize in Munich (additional audience prize), Gioia del Colle (Italy), Moscow (Russia), 3rd prize in Chieri (Italy), followed by a 2nd prize in Berlin in 2014, 1st prize in Magnitogorsk (Russia) in 2015, 1st prize in Berlin in 2016.

In addition, the ensemble was awarded the Bavarian Art Promotion Prize 2016 and received a scholarship from the Theodor Rogler Foundation, a scholarship for music from the City of Munich and a scholarship from the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation.

The ensemble was founded in 2009 at the HMT Munich and studied chamber music in the class of the Artemis Quartet Berlin and in Munich with Mr. Asatryan and Prof. Berger. Since 2015 it is an ensemble of the European Chamber Music Academy (ECMA, Prof. Beyerle, Prof. Meissl, among others).
