MOBILIS SAXOPHONE QUARTET

In search of new musical possibilities, four ambitious saxophonists in Vienna formed the Mobilis Saxophone Quartet in 2009. The ensemble was able to demonstrate its high musical quality right from the start, for example when it won the renowned Austrian music competition Gradus ad Parnassum or was named a finalist in the Fidelio competition. In addition, their debut CD, which the quartet recorded as a prize for the "Bank Austria Artist of the Year" award, was awarded the Ö1 Pasticcio Prize. The ensemble is a regular guest at renowned festivals in Austria and abroad and premieres new works by young composers. Concerts have led the group to most prestigious concert venues in Austria, such as golden hall of Musikverein Vienna, Vienna Concert House, Brucknerhaus Linz and ORF Radiokulturhaus. Concert tours to Chile, Japan, France, Belgium, Slovenia, Hungary, Croatia, Slovakia… One of the main goals of the ensemble is to bring the original literature for saxophone quartet and the sound of the classical saxophone, which is still unknown in many places, closer to the audience. The Mobilis Saxophone Quartet is an innovative and flexible ensemble, always ready to discover new things with an eye to the future of saxophone culture. In 2023 their new album „Kaleidoskop“ will be published with the renowned label Gramola Vienna.
