Wonderful memories are coming back. We've just played in Vienna, where Alan and Michal spent many years. It was an absolute pleasure to see so many familiar faces in the audience. This was the second concert of this mini-tour with Ksenija Sidorova and our "ANIMA" project. We will be back on stage together very soon, during Schleswig Holstein Musik Festival in July!
We are delighted to announce our debut at the magnificent Prinzregententheater in Munich. Together with Ksenija Sidorova, we brought our program “ANIMA” to the warm and super enthusiastic Munich audience. So much adrenaline playing on this epic stage. We will be back!

We are delighted to perform for the first time with the Philharmonic Orchestra Kiel and conductor Georg Fritzsch. The programme features Bernd Franke’s BlueGreen Concerto (2004).

We are excited to announce the signing of a worldwide representation contract with Müller & Pavlik Management in Basel, Switzerland.Christoph and Stefan has been known to us for many years through the Gstaad Music Festival, and it is a great pleasure to extend this collaboration and become part of the Müller & Pavlik family. Our former agent, Alex Kirsch (AMC Music Management), is leaving the music business after 21 years. We would like to express our sincere thanks for her work and for the inspiration she has given us throughout these years. We are also very happy that Franco Panozzo of AMC Music Management will continue as our local manager in Italy.
We had a wonderful time with our friends Raphaela and Julian in December. These were our last three shows in 2026. The first one took place at the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Festival in Germany. It is always great to perform in front of such a nice audience and together with our friends from the festival staff in the north of Germany. After that, we travelled by train to Berlin and flew to Cyprus the next day. There was incredible stress while travelling – everything was late and connecting flights were missed. Would we make it or not? Fortunately, we arrived in Cyprus on
First Concerts and First Enthusiastic Reviews Our first three concerts together with Edoardo and Michal were met with an heartwarming welcome and enthusiastic responses from both audiences and critics. “Concert offers a radiant opening to the anniversary year.” Badische Neueste Nachrichten --- “At the Gschwend Musikwinter, the Signum Saxophone Quartet enchanted the audience with fresh interpretations of works by Bach and Dvořák. The saxophonists created powerful soundscapes and revealed entirely new facets of these pieces — can the saxophone revolutionize chamber music?” Rems-Zeitung --- “A musical firework full of joie de vivre.” Goslarsche-Zeitung --- We are deeply grateful for the wonderful atmosphere we experienced in Pforzheim, Gschwend, and Harz, and we are very much looking
ANIMA feat. Ksenija Sidorova and announcing three new dates in the first months of 2026 After a few months apart, we were incredibly happy to reunite with our one and only Ksenija Sidorova. From shared laughter and coffee breaks to those special moments on the stage, being together again felt natural and inspiring as ever. It was a big pleasure to play in Harz in front of a sold out hall. We are happy to announce three upcoming dates at the beginning of 2026: 20 March 2026 – Einbeck, PS.SPEICHER (DE) 8 May 2026 – Munich, Prinzregententheater (DE) 9 May 2026 – Vienna, Konzerthaus (AT) We can’t wait to share this energy with you again very soon.
In October we had the pleasure of working together for the first time with the Southwest German Chamber Orchestra. The conductor was Douglas Bostock, and the program featured Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition in the adaptation by Jun Nagao, which isn't only a creative transcription of the masterpiece, but something decisively more as the new, original material is a very important part of it. We thoroughly enjoyed the intense rehearsal period as well as discovering the city of Pforzheim, but the most rewarding moment was undoubtedly the concert itself. We are delighted that both the audience and the press responded with enthusiasm, and we very
We are excited to welcome EDOARDO ZOTTI on baritone saxophone! Edoardo comes from Trieste, Italy, so it felt only natural that we first met just a few kilometers away, in 2013, at a concert in Monfalcone. We stayed in touch over the years as our musical paths continued to cross.What makes Edoardo a perfect fit for SIGNUM is his strong musical personality, his deep sense of ensemble playing, and his ability to shape the sound from within - qualities that are essential to our artistic vision. We are not quite sure whether the concert in Monfalcone was something Edoardo still
We are delighted to welcome MICHAL KNOT on soprano saxophone. Many years ago, in 2011, Alan and Michal were at the same university in Vienna - yet just missed each other, as Alan had already left for Cologne by the time Michal arrived from Rome. Their paths would briefly cross again in 2015, and once more in 2024, when they shared the stage for a few concerts. Now we are thrilled that Michal is joining SIGNUM! He embodies the values that are at the heart of SIGNUM: a commitment to giving everything on stage, a deep sense of musical responsibility, and
There is a beauty in farewell, because it honors what has been. After a clear decision made by Blaž to step away from the quartet, we would like to say goodbye and express our gratitude for the endless energy and the many moments we have experienced together as SIGNUM. We shared a big part of our so-called growing up together; moments of joy, laughter, and challenges. We traveled the world together. Blaž, thank you for being you, for your musicality, your trust, and your love.
After three beautiful and inspiring weeks, nine concerts across Australia, and five masterclasses, this second tour will stay in our hearts forever. Under the title Hollywood Songbook: “Out of Berlin, Over the Rainbow”, we had the joy of performing a deeply moving program alongside the wonderful singer Ali McGregor. Featuring music by Stravinsky, Copland, Prokofiev, Eisler, and Hollaender, the program explored the emotional landscape of exile, transformation, and hope. The chemistry between us on stage, the enthusiastic audiences, the beautiful halls we have performed in, and the flawless organization by Musica Viva Australia – all of it made this tour truly special. From

It’s a mix of drama, nostalgia, and energy, brought to life through saxophone and voice in a way you’ve never heard before. Join us on tour across Australia from
Blaž and Alan have recorded a special program—a podcast—at Deutschlandfunk, featured on PopArt and other platforms. In this episode, we talk about our lives, our stories, our past and future, all while sharing our favorite music. From Joseph Haydn to the sounds of the Scorpions, we take you on a journey through the music that has shaped us. April 12, 2025 - 10:05 am - 11:05 am LINK
It was that glorious summer of 2015—we were at a festival by Lake Geneva when it happened: David, a founding member who had shaped the quartet so profoundly for nine years, shared his decision to leave the group. An unforgettable pain accompanied us for months; we simply couldn’t process it. Nine years of stories, ups and downs, dreams, and visions—suddenly, all of it became the past, at least with David. But as crazy as it may sound—he’s back. And here we are in 2025, exactly nine years later, with the incredible feeling of being reunited once again. David on his return: Sometimes
We are thrilled to present the first glimpse of our new program, Out of Berlin, Over the Rainbow, featuring the extraordinary soprano Sarah Maria Sun. This program explores the turbulent first half of the 20th century—a time of radical change in society, technology, and politics—through the voices of artists who lived and reflected on those transformative years. Join us on a journey from shadow to light, as we highlight the stories of exiles and wanderers from Europe, Siberia, and Ukraine, who shared their rich cultural heritage while searching for belonging in a fractured world. With music by Hanns Eisler, Igor Stravinsky, Erwin
The first half of the 20th century was a time of radical change—social, technological, and, of course, political. History books tell one version of this era, but what about the voices of the artists, composers, writers, and performers who lived through these turbulent years and reflected them in their art? As we look back on 80 years of musicians from around the world coming together to share their stories, this program takes us on a journey from evocative monochrome to a vivid world of colors and from darkness to radiant hope. Along the way, we meet wanderers and exiles from Europe,
We are honored to make our debut in Milan in January 2025 for Fondazione La Società dei Concerti—where so many legendary musicians have performed. We also brought the saxophone into the season, and we couldn’t be more thrilled! Thank you to the wonderful audience—we’ll see you again soon!
As musicians, our greatest joy is sharing our music with as many people as possible. And sometimes, fate plays a role in making that happen. In September 2023, during a visit to Istanbul, we had the incredible luck of meeting two amazing individuals: Duygu and Onur. These two young, passionate, and innovative minds run Lockbridge Artists Management, a dynamic agency dedicated to bringing music to new audiences. Their energy and fresh ideas immediately resonated with us, and we knew this was the start of something special. We are thrilled to be working with them and excited about the opportunities ahead—especially bringing our
We are delighted and proud to announce that we have been appointed the new ARTISTS in RESIDENCE at Festspiele Mecklenburg-Vorpommern 2024 (Germany). In 2016, we became part of the Festival Family, and since then, we have played many concerts. But 2024 will be an entirely new and unique experience, resulting in 23 performances! We are very proud to have this recognition and trust from the festival side as the second ensemble in their history (after Quatour Ebene), and we are already looking forward to enjoying the beautiful landscape and musical spirit of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern with our friends and many well-known artists. Highlights of the Residency
Our new album Chameleon is a musical journey that spans everything from classic film scores to the raw energy of AC/DC. As a quartet, we love exploring different genres and blending them into our unique sound. One of the highlights is our version of Thunderstruck by AC/DC – a piece that pushes the limits of what a saxophone can do. We had the pleasure of performing it at the moma café, bringing rock energy to an unexpected setting. Stay tuned for more surprises – Chameleon is full of them! LINK
Signum sax foursome who love breaking through boundaries Sydney Recital Hall (Daily Telegraph) In its Australian debut, the sax quartet, performs a seamless program of Bach, Weill and Gershwin, showcasing an exemplary sense of balance, clarity and tone. This acclaimed group brought to bear a seemingly endless variety of tonal colour and effects. The sense of balance, clarity and tone was exemplary. Adelaide Town Hall (Limelight ★★★★★) Displaying all the hallmarks of true chamber musicians, these saxophonists brought classy enthusiasm to transcriptions of a diverse repertory.

The film follows a classical saxophone quartet to Angola, Africa and tries to capture the mysterious and enchanting feeling called Saudade. Members of a classical saxophone quartet travel to Angola, Africa, to carry out a workshop with students of a local music school. Although their mission is to bring their knowledge and experience to others, they end up leaving with important knowledge and experience themselves. The film follows the four musicians and takes the viewer on a meditative and exploring paths through Angola accompanied by classical and contemporary compositions.

Hello from Berlin! Berlin Konzerthaus is a very special concert venue for us, because there we basically played our first "real" concert.- apart from playing at House Concerts, Picknicks and Garten Parties back to that time ;) It was 17.3.2010 and we still remember the big excitment at the hall and of course crazy "Berlin Night" afterwards. In beetwen we were back there for two times but it is still huge honor for us and every time like for the first time. Yesterday was it so far again.

We are back on track and on 4th January we will premiere the piece of John Psathas at Festspiele Mecklenburg- Vorpommern with wonderful Alexej Gerassimez. The concert will take place in Ulrichshusen. Few notes from Composer about the piece: The new piece is called CONNECTOME (a connectome (/kəˈnɛktoʊm/) is a comprehensive map of neural connections in the brain, and may be thought of as its "wiring diagram". More broadly, a connectome would include the mapping of all neural connections within an organism's nervous system. The piece is in three parts. Each

We feel honored to be part of this family! Thank you. #wearefamily
Dear friends, we can't wait to perform new concerto for saxophone quartet and orchestra by Daniel Schnyder on July 4th 2019 in Festspielhaus Erl. More informations about the concert HERE Daniel Schnyder wrote about the new concerto: My Concerto for Saxophone Quartet and Orchestra is divided into three movements which are connected by free cadenzas. The first movement is rather pastoral in nature and reflects the origin of the saxophone in French music. In his famous "Bolero" and "Pictures at an Exhibition", Ravel brought the saxophone to the ears of the concert audience, listening to the lyrical, romantic and at the same time Dionysian
At the end of January and at the beginning of February we have been privileged to attend the amazing festival La Folle Journee in Nantes! It has been our comeback to the festival after the edition in 2015. As the theme of the festival this year was "Voyages" we deciced to present versatile program of works from J.S.Bach, A. Ginastera, L. Bernstein, C. Corea. First we have played two concerts in La Folle Journee en Region(Savenay, La Lude) and after 4 concerts in Nantes! They were many remarkable moments in a week there, but to name two, it would be big opening
Last week we have been invited to play a concert at Rostropovich festival in Baku/ Azeirbaijan. Absolutely a dream invitation for me, as he is my hero and ispiration since I can remember. Happiness! Only one day later we've got a message from presenter (great one!!) and our office that we are not allowed to enter the land of Azeirbaijan since someone of us is from Armenia and has armenian passport. Not only this.- in case of trying to enter the land to play the concert, he has to go directly to the police.- in worst case to prison. I know

Ist in der Instrumentalmusik von einem Quartett die Rede, so geht es fast immer um Streicher. Aber da gibt es noch mehr, wie ein Konzert der Dresdner Musifestspiele zeigte. Von Torsten Kohlschein erschienen am 29.05.2018 in "FREIE PRESSE" Dresden. Warum gilt das Saxofon eigentlich als Holzblasinstrument? Sieht doch jeder, dass das Ding aus Blech ist! - So berechtigt die Frage, so einfach die Antwort. Es geht in diesem Fall nicht darum, woraus das Instrument ist, sondern was den Ton erzeugt. Und das ist beim Saxofon ein ins Mundstück gespanntes angeschliffenes Blatt aus Schilfrohr, für dessen beim Anblasen entstehende Schwingungen die "Blechkanne" nur

Neuss. Gemeinsam mit Pianist Michail Lifits gab das "Signum Saxophone Quartet" in Neuss ein Gastspiel. Von Heide Oehmen Während seiner ausgedehnten Europa-Tournee, die unter anderem nach Haarlem, Utrecht, Cremona und Varese führt, machte das "EchoKlassik"- prämierte "Signum Saxophone Quartet" auch im Neusser Zeughaus Station. Die Saxophonisten (Blaz Kemperle, Sopran -Saxophon; Erik Nestler, Alt -Saxophon; Alan Luzar, Tenor -Saxophon und Guerino Bellarosa, Bariton -Saxophon) kennen sich seit ihrem Studium beim Saxophon-Papst Daniel Gauthier an der Musikhochschule Köln. Im Jahre 2006 gründeten sie ihr "Signum Quartet", ein Entschluss, den sie vermutlich nicht bereut haben. Sie sind sie inzwischen weltweit in ersten Konzertsälen gerngesehene

Part of the prize is also to be a member of the big Festspiele Mecklenburg Vorpommern Family and to realize interesting projects
Wir sind sehr froh und dankbar, dass uns das Goethe Institut wieder eingeladen hat. Diesmal geht nach Angola. Im Jahr 2013 waren wir schon in Pakistan - und die Erfahrung werden wir einfach nie vergessen. Es ist doch was ganz anderes, in solchen Länder die Konzerte zu spielen, zulassen, dass sich die zwei unterschiedliche Kulturen tatsächlich begegnen! Pakistan 2013 war für uns echt eine einmalige Erfahrung und deswegen können wir kaum erwarten, dass wir bald nach Angola reisen. Wir werden in Angola ehrenamtlich mit den Kindern arbeiten und drei Konzerte spielen. 20MAY2017 BENGUELA ANGOLA 22MAY-23MAY2017 OBRA BELA MUSIC SCHOOL LUANDA, ANGOLA 24MAY2017 FORTALEZA LUANDA, ANGOLA 25MAY2017 FABRICA DE SABAO CAZENGA/LUANDA, ANGOLA Mehr Informationen
“[…] Loud exaltation following the first piece on stage by SIGNUM saxophone quartet during their concert on Thursday night. The Big Hall of the Theatre was full with different audiences, which – lost in their admiration for Bach’s Italian concert – decided to ignore the established rule not to clap after each piece and loudly applauded the musicians during the whole concert […] The saxophone quartet and the magic of the accordionist presented to the audience a true miracle. Vivaldi’s “For Seasons” and Piazzolla’ s “Four Seasons of Buenos Aires” sounded like a faithful curtsy to the authors, combined with

We are very happy we’ve found a new member after a long search. With Guerino we have found a emotional puzzle piece and we are very glad to go new paths with him! Guerino Bellarosa (1984), born in Avellino near Naples, lives in Düsseldorf and has studied with Federico Mondelci in Pesaro(Italy) and Jean-Michel Goury in Paris. He currently does his Master’s in Contemporary Music at the Folkwang University of Arts in Essen. He brings the sun of south Italy, mediterranean passion and a big heart to our quartet. Benvenuto Guerino! Yours SIGNUM
David was part of the group from the beginning on and lived that dream with us. He dreamed, dedicated his whole life to this, travelled thousands of kilometers with us and opened his soul more than 500 times on stage. But at this point our paths seperate from each other. David decided to go on his own way. We thank you for your (sometimes unconventional) ideas, your vigor and your spirit and dreams. You made SIGNUM to what it is nowadays! We wish you all the best for your future. Alan, Erik & Blaz David Brand RÜCKBLICK Sich kennenlernen. Das erste mal sehen, riechen, hören. Irgendwie komisch und schon verdammt lange
One day before the concert in Ljubljana, we had the possibility to get to know young saxophonists from Conservatory and University in Ljubljana. If I am getting precise, 2 beautiful quartets and soloists! Let us say even better, amazing People!!! you will not believe it, but they play for us.- It was great! So much energy and joy making music together and let us be honest – so good in shape that I thought, that they will play until after tomorrow. But,… I have to say something. I do not like the word teacher. I do not like it at all. It is way
A collabaroation is always different – hard enough to keep our four opinions together… but sometimes you meet artists and you know recently you want – you have! – to work together. That’s what happened in the case of our collaboration with composer, sounddesigner and pianist Nils Frahm. I met him at one of his Gigs in Michelberger Hotel Berlin a few month ago and by the way: this place was so fantastic! He presented a new Piano open-air to the audience. When he started to play and his music was melting with the surrounding nature sounds – created mainly by the
