The Sinta Quartet, an award-winning saxophone quartet, brings a vibrant and inventive approach to the chamber stage. Renowned for its precise ensemble work and communicative energy, the ensemble embraces both classical repertoire and contemporary commissions, expanding the possibilities of the saxophone’s voice in chamber music. “Sinta plays with astonishing virtuosity, subtly beautiful phrasing and exquisite ensemble no matter how rhythmically complex the music is.” – Palm Beach Daily News website
