Currently undergoing something of a revival, there is a huge range of material that lends itself to playing by a group of saxophones. The range of sizes and timbres of the various instruments lends itself to everything from renaissance arrangements to contemporary works written especially for this lineup.
Equinox play in a variety of styles. Examples from their current repertoire include:
| Hotel de Ville (Michael Nyman)
Oblivion (Piazzola)
Cinerama (James Rae)
The Lamb (John Tavener)
Aria (J S Bach)
Oboe Concerto (Albinoni) |
Riverdance (Bill Whelan)
Palladio (Karl Jenkins)
Celtic Suite (Gavin Whitlock)
Moondance (van Morrison)
Watermelon Man (Herbie Hancock)
Suite Hellenique (Iturralde) |
booking
Equinox can be booked for festivals, concerts and other special events. The philosophy behind the group is to present the highest quality music in an interesting and entertaining way. This approach keeps the appeal of the music as broad as possible, and ensures that performances appeal to young and old, regular concert-goer or casual listener alike.
An Equinox concert can take you through the ages of classical music, through to jazz and pop music; and may include music from around the world - Spain, Argentina, France, Ireland and Italy. The group are able to give full concert performances or are ideal to share a concert with choirs or other group.
