KolorBach Performance
KolorBach / classical, world
Start a dialogue between Bach’s works and klezmer music : this is the audacious challenge of two musicians couples, a violinist and a violinist-altist, a saxophonist and a cellist. In an open mind they highlight the dialogue between written and orality, orient and occident, classical and popular, the string trio and saxophone.

Biography
From baroque transcription to contemporary premieres, the Squillante Ensemble very soon established a reputation thanks to the contagious energy of its musicians on stage, who constantly tend to renew the traditional concert.
In 2009, their 1st CD breaks with the traditionally imposed “classical” canons, by proposing a programme of transcriptions around baroque music and pieces inspired by that period… offering, through this charming musical anachronism, a truly unprecedented re-reading and an interpretation of the masterpieces by Bach, Corelli, Grieg and Ravel.
Their growing desire for innovation, associated with a more and more avid interest of composers for the saxophone, very regularly takes the Squillante Ensemble to the ground of premieres and current music.
The idea of “musical split” finds all its meaning in 2011 with their second record project “Spaccata”, with the Jazz trombonist Daniel Casimir.
The Squillante Ensemble has already been invited to perform in numerous festivals: Flâneries Musicales of Reims (closing concert before 17 000 people), Semaines Musicales of Quimper, “C pas classique” Festival of Nice, Les concerts de l’Improbable by Jean-François Zygel at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris, Festival des jeunes interprètes in Radio France, the “Kiosque à musique” at the Phénix of Valenciennes, the “Boite à musique” by Jean-François Zygel on France Télévision but also the “Ibérico” Festival of Badajoz in Spain, the Festival of Samobor in Croatia or even the “Mi-fugue, Mi-raisin” festival in Belgium, among many others…
Every summer since 2008, the “Curso Internacional de saxofón de la Villa de Montefrío” takes place in Spain (Granada), where the Squillante Ensemble shares and spreads its passion for chamber music with saxophone students from all over the world.

“Opus Band” offers an unusual brotherhood of monks playing moving like acrobats balancing on an imaginary tightrope between the sacred and the profane, between the rock and the Gregorian chants, between the Middle Ages and elettrofunk. With great ability to interpret the musicians transform the high perfection of the Toccata in D minor by Bach polluting it with the recklessness of James Brown. A Gregorian chant or a Renaissance dance, “In Taverna when sumus,” suddenly, with ease and great energy, they become mystical and transcendental rock with citations of Led Zeppelin. “Opus Band” is a clever blend of music and street theater, unsettling and fun, involve the public in this short “trip saxofonico on the way to heaven.”
The founder and the ledear of BadaBimBumBand is Sandro Tani.
Sandro started his musical studies at 10 years old. He started studing the clarinet, later the saxophone; in the 1992 he graduated from the Conservatorio of Florence in saxophone. From the beginning, his musical interests range over from classic music to jazz and folk repertoire. Nel 1994 he won the audition at Teatro della Scala di Milano. He played with the “The Saexophones” at XVII° Cantiere d’Arte of Montepulciano, at X° International Congress of Saxophone. He won many competitions like I° Prize “Trofeo Kawai”, I° Prize “Astor Piazzolla” of Castelfidardo. He played in different contests as Biennale of Venezia, Accademia Chigiana, the Orchestra of Maggio Musicale Fiorentino and the ORT-Orchestra of Toscana. He collaborated with important italian musical directors as Luciano Berio, Vinko Globokar, Georges Pretre, Bruno Bartoletti. Actually he teachs the saxophone at the Musical Lyceum of Lucca. In 2003 he founded and directed the BadaBimBumBand and in 2006 he produced with Terzostudio the performance “Bandita” directed by Italo Pecoretti, in 2009 the performance “Wanna Gonna Show”, in 2012 the performance “Opus Band”
