The Banyuls Saxophone Quartet formed in November 2007 at the Ian Tomlin Academy of Music at Edinburgh Napier University. By March 2008 the group was already playing for events and since then their hard work, enthusiasm and great musicianship has quickly brought them the success they deserve as a chamber ensemble for weddings events, concerts and workshops.

The versatility of the saxophone quartet allows for a wide range of musical styles to suit all tastes. They’re happy to work with you as you choose the music for your event and create the atmosphere that you want. If you can’t find your favourite tune in the repertoire they can arrange it for you with their unique Sax Quartet flavour. 

The clear clean sound of the Quartet is a perfect background for both indoor and outdoor events, they can set you up with a cool, relaxed ambience - or really get your party started. With their uniquely varied repertoire of classical music, jazz and popular tunes, Banyuls Saxophone Quartet will delight audiences of all ages and backgrounds.
