Saxophone Quartet Signum
The SIGNUM saxophone quartet is everything – except ordinary: four outstanding saxophonists who have known each other since their youth and have been reinventing themselves ever since. Musical genre crossover, in which a deep devotion to the classic string quartet sound goes hand in hand with great enthusiasm for the rock classics of our time. In addition, an incomparable charisma that puts the icing on the impressive, virtuoso skills of Michal Knot, Jacopo Taddei, Alan Lužar and Edoardo Zotti.
From the first moment of their performances, the exceptional musicians spark musical fireworks filled with emotion – characterised by an insatiable curiosity for stylistic music borderline experiences and the unwavering search for the perfect ensemble sound. Whether original compositions for saxophone quartet, arrangements of orchestral works, baroque compositions, or rock music – SIGNUM’s unwavering love of music extends to almost all eras and genres. It’s difficult to put into words this masterful joy of playing. You simply must experience them.
Award winners at several international competitions, the young SIGNUM saxophone quartet debuted at New York’s Carnegie Hall in 2013. Quickly, the quartet expanded on its success: As “Rising Stars” of the European Concert Hall Organization (ECHO) in 2014/15, the SIGNUMs have stepped onto the big stages of the world, where they have been at home for years now.
The SIGNUM saxophone quartet is regularly on everyone’s lips through its concerts in quartet formation and collaborations with fellow musicians. With violinist star Daniel Hope, the four of them not only appeared together in front of the TV camera for the Arte tv format “Hope@Home”, but also made several stage appearances together. The SIGNUMs also perform with Ksenija Sidorova, Sarah Maria Sun, Giorgi Gigashvili and Fazil Say. The quartet’s orchestral repertoire is diverse and constantly expanding – they recently debuted with a new arrangement of Mussorgsky’s “Pictures” by Jun Nagao for string orchestra and saxophone quartet; a new concerto by Avner Dorman is planned for the 2027/28 season.
The SIGNUM saxophone quartet has already released several albums, including “Echoes” (Deutsche Grammophon, 2021). In 2024, SIGNUMs presented its new recording “Chameleon” (Berlin Classics).
