MILFORD, PA — The Donald Sinta Quartet, an all-saxophone ensemble, will perform music by Schubert, Glazunov, Ligeti and others at the Milford Theatre, at 5:30 p.m. on November 7. The program is produced by Kindred Spirits.
Saxophones come in several sizes and shapes, so the Donald Sinta Quartet (Dan Graser, Zach Stern, Joe Girard and Danny Hawthorne-Foss) may surprise listeners with its range, from bottom notes you’d expect of a double bass to treble notes you might hear on a flute. The quartet’s repertoire spans centuries, from transcriptions of music originally written for string quartets, such as the Schubert piece in this program, to cutting-edge pieces they commissioned.
The group won the coveted Alice Coleman Grand Prize in Los Angeles, and is the first all-saxophone ensemble ever to have won the Elmaleh Prize at the Concert Artists Guild International Competition in New York City.
Tickets cost $20, or $15 when bought in advance at www.kindredspiritsarts.org or in person at Books and Prints at Pear Alley, 220 Broad St., 570/296 4777. Children under 15 will be admitted free.
