Biography

The Nelligan Saxophone Quartet was formed in 1994, with the mandate to showcase the contemporary and classical repertoire for the saxophone. The quartet gave its first official recital on April 16, 1994 at the opening concert of the event “The saxophone: Past, Present and Future”, a weekend devoted to the saxophone and organized around the French master Jean-Marie Londeix.
The quartet’s first season began in the fall of that year and it was followed by a tour in Europe in July 1995, which led the four saxophonists to perform in Belgium and France. In 1997, the Nelligan Quartet recorded its first album, a transcription for saxophone quartet of the Art of Fugue by Johann Sebastian Bach.
