“FOUR SAXOPHONISTS WHO ROCK THE HOUSE “
“HAMBURG. ARE THEY A REINCARNATION OF THE BEATLES? FOUR MUSICIANS, FOUR YOUNG GUYS WITH A ‘NAUGHTY BOY’ IMAGE AND ALL THE SELF-CONFIDENCE OF THOSE FAMOUS FOUR ‘MOP TOPS’ , STEP OUT ON STAGE, BEGIN TO PLAY AND SET THE PLACE ALIGHT. THERE ARE YOUNG GIRLS IN THE AUDIENCE – A BIG SCREEN AS IF FOR A POP GROUP (…)
A MIX OF MASCULINITY AND SENSITIVITY CHARACTERIZES THE MUSIC OF THE FOUR. PLAYING MOSTLY WITHOUT SHEET MUSIC THEY ARE FREELY VISIBLE, STANDING IN A CURVED FORMATION. WHO IS LOOKING AT WHOM AND WHO STEPS FORWARD AS THE LEADING VOICE IS COMPLETELY INSTINCTIVE AND SPONTANEOUS, IN LINE WITH THE MUSICAL LOGIC. THEIR STUPENDOUS PERFECTION BECOMES ALMOST A GIVEN (….)“

Working in the classical music scene since 2004, I made many precious experiences in the field of concert production and tour planning, dealing with high profile artists from all around Europe. For several years I have been traveling around the world as responsible orchestra & choirtourmanager,too.“WereIJamesBond,IwoulddefinitelywantAlexonmyside!”, thisis what a cellist once said in the middle of a most stressful tour. It is probably the mixture of Nordic organization and Mediterranean-Italian flexibility which makes part of the success. Since 2013/14 I work as an artist manager, too.
It is an enormous pleasure for me to bring into life this wonderful project, together with our very strong team! We have worked out a very round concept, crossing borders of music and art, and giving our young (but also adult) audience the possibility to experiment music and sound in very various ways and to stimulate their creativity. With this project we aim not only to open the kid’s ears, but to give them a valuable alternative to the main stream and empty
social media world! At the end, the soul of our project is made of 4 fantastic musicians, who are not only exceptional artists but also 4 great guys/friends/older brothers, who are approaching life with enormous talent, professionalism, honesty, and with four big hearts.
