 gin (soprano)\, Ellie McMurray (alto)\, David Zucchi (tenor) and\nShevaugh
 an Beere (baritone)\n\nFor Louth and District Concert Society's 80th Anniv
 ersary Gala Concert\, we welcome saxophonist Huw Wiggin back to Louth\, th
 is time with his highly acclaimed Ferio Quartet.\nDon't miss this unique o
 pportunity to hear the breathtaking sound of four saxophones in the wonder
 ful setting of St James' Church.\n \nAs one of Europe’s leading saxopho
 ne quartets\, the Ferio Saxophone Quartet consistently receives a highly
  enthusiastic reception from audiences and critics alike. Concert engageme
 nts have taken the ensemble to the leading festivals and concert halls acr
 oss the UK\, as well as on tour to New Zealand\, France and Bermuda\, and 
 they can frequently be heard on BBC Radio 3 and other national and interna
 tional broadcasters. Their four recordings for Chandos Records have all be
 en met with great acclaim in the press and demonstrate the broad range and
  flexibility of their instruments\, repertoire and collaborations. Since f
 orming at the Royal College of Music in 2012\, accolades and awards have i
 ncluded The Philharmonia/Martin Musical Ensemble Award\, the Royal Over-S
 eas League’s Ensemble Competition prize and selection by both the Tunnel
 l Trust and Park Lane Group.\n\n\nProgramme\n \n\n	\n		\n			George Frider

 erios certainly have skill on their side\, and every emotional hue you cou
 ld want – smoky\, honeyed\, shrieking or sad.”\nBBC Music Magazine\n\n
 “Playing and music alike sport an irresistible exuberance.”\nFinancial
  Times\n\n\n\n“Perhaps we should also use the word – breathtaking – 
 as it is remarkable that such a detailed three-movement work as Bach’s T
 hird Brandenburg Concerto – usually heard on violins\, violas\, and bass
 o continuo – now radiates its beauty and invention through four saxophon
 es.”\nThe Quarterly Review\n\n“Natural singers\, phrasing supplely and
  expressively … only the glummest of historically informed pedants could
  object to hearing Purcell\, Byrd or Handel played by a group as good as t
 his.”\nGramophone\n\n\n \n\n\nFor full event details\, visit: https://w
