Biography Audax Saxophonquartett
Audax Saxophone Quartet
The four young saxophonists Christina Bernard (soprano saxophone), Ann-Kathrin Grammel (alto saxophone), Annalena Neu (tenor saxophone) and Regina Reiter (baritone saxophone) met during their joint saxophone studies at the Würzburg University of Music and combine their great passion for chamber music in the Audax Saxophone Quartet. The four have set themselves big goals, not least to live up to their name (audax = Latin for brave, bold).
Five years after the quartet was founded, the musicians can already look back on a number of successes. The quartet has already been awarded the eponymous prize twice at the chamber music competition for the Wolfgang Fischer and Maria Fischer Flach Prize and then performed in the Würzburg Residence. In the summer of 2019 and 2021, the four young musicians were able to take part in the International Chamber Music Campus of the Jeunesses Musicales at Weikersheim Castle and hone their diverse repertoire with the renowned chamber music greats Heime Müller, Günter Pichler, Dirk Mommertz, Marianna Shirinyan as well as the members of the Kuss Quartet and the Cuarteto Casals. In November 2019, they took part in the Bad Homburg Master Class for Chamber Music with Prof. Angelika Merkle, Prof. Tim Vogler and Dipl. Tonmeister Christian Starke. When they took part again in Bad Homburg in 2021, the quartet was awarded the 28th prize, which included a professional sound recording.
