Flotilla Saxophone Ensemble
Wednesday, 22 April 2009
Flotilla are a unique ensemble of instrumentalists performing music with a variety of soundworlds: trios and quartets for saxophones, often in unusual combinations, and also including piano or synthesizer. A consort of saxophones, rather than a traditional saxophone quartet.
Kyle Horch: soprano and alto saxophones
Naomi Sullivan: soprano and alto saxophones
Andy Tweed: soprano, alto, tenor, and baritone saxophones
Alistair Parnell: alto and tenor saxophones, piano, synthesizer
