MANA Quartet presents the “History of the Saxophone Quartet” on the Community Concerts Series in Mountainview. Called a “groundbreaking ensemble” by the Los Angeles Chronicle, the San Francisco Bay Area-based MANA Quartet invites listeners on a journey through “The History of the Saxophone Quartet.” This vivid program opens with Jean Baptiste Singelée’s 19th-century showpiece—widely credited as the earliest saxophone quartet—continues with Alexander Glazunov’s 1932 masterwork, and culminates in a neo-romantic gem composed specifically for MANA by Stephen Dankner. Performing on vintage instruments built to Adolphe Sax’s original specifications, MANA brings new life to rarely heard repertoire and champions the saxophone in classical music. Expect a stirring performance that spans more than a century of musical evolution!
