Since 2002 one of the primary goals of The Lunar Saxophone Quartet has been to make new music more accessible to British audiences. Using previously unexplored formats of instrumentation and a fusion of compositional styles throughout performances, the LSQ aim to bring a fresh approach to the saxophone quartet genre.

The quartet's devotion to their profession, based on their training at renowned UK conservatoires, is reflected in the emphasis placed on quality in their work . The strong new music policy adopted over the last 5 years has been the foundation of the group's identity with composers including Eric Schwartz, Gabriel Jackson, Lucy Pankhurst, Ashley John Long and Dave Stapleton all being commissioned to write works for the ensemble.

The LSQ's pioneering collaboration with jazz pianist Dave Stapleton, which was co-funded buy an MBF ensemble development award, was released in November 2008 on Edition Records to critical acclaim whilst the quartet's debut solo album 'FLUX' featuring new music by Graham Fitkin, Andrew Poppy, Ashley John Long, Michael Nyman and Gabriel Jackson is to be released in Spring 2009 on the Staunch Music label.

The LSQ have always been enthusiastic about performing young composers' work and it seemed logical that some kind of platform should be created to help encourage some very talented composers studying at University and Music College to write for the saxophone quartet genre. The LSQ New Music Award sponsored by Sax.co.uk is now in its second year with the winning composer from of each yearly competition securing a publishing contract with Staunch Publications and having their pieces recorded on the LSQ's forthcoming album 'FLUX'.

UNIVERSE

Comparing the solar system to an atom, the earth is an electron.

How do you feel being one among zillions of inhabitants of an electron?

Comparing one atom to the solar system, each electron is a planet.

How do you feel being a universe?

The Base Galactic thanks!
