Contemporary chamber music for saxophone and guitar

In the last 20 years many composers have seen on new chamber ensembles a way of find other way of expression less homogeneous and conventional than traditional duos or quartets. One of these new chamber combinations is the saxophone and guitar duo.

On the first works written for saxophone and guitar not were explored truly the sound and expresive possibilities of those instruments. On the pieces programmed in this project, both the saxophone and guitar try to show a new intimate conversation, far away from the melody with accompaniment that we could suppose or imagine at the first sight.

The use of extended techinques and new ways of understand the sound production, dynamics and color try to wake up the curiosity of the audience
