The event

«Sax Perspectives» is part of the 63rd Nuova Consonanza Festival and is produced in collaboration with Azienda Speciale Palaexpo and Fondazione Mattatoio. The Apeiron Sax Quartet was founded to explore the expressive possibilities of the saxophone quartet and, over twenty years of activity, has taken on different repertoires and languages. The players are Dario Volante (soprano sax), Roberto Guadagno (alto sax), Daniele Caporaso (tenor sax) and Armando Noce (baritone sax).

The program starts with «Magic» by Ivan Fedele, a brilliant, virtuosic piece from 1985 with a jazz flavor, and moves on to very recent music: «Estatico» (2025) by Giorgio Colombo Taccani, «Paesaggio di rovine» (2026) by Riccardo Panfili, «RiVelazioni in madrigale» (2025) by Eduardo Carlo Natoli and «Respiri di quiete mobile» (2026) by Fabio Massimo Capogrosso. The works by Panfili, Natoli and Capogrosso are world premieres.
