In the lead-up to the concert, the quartet will give a masterclass for students at the MHL, offering insights into contemporary saxophone performance techniques and composition for the instrument.

This project is a collaboration between the MHL, the Frequency Festival, Düsseldorf University of Applied Sciences (Robert Schumann Hochschule), and the Hamburg University of Music and Theatre.

The project is supported by the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec, the Canada Council for the Arts, the Conseil des arts de Montréal, and Vandoren.
