Event Description
The North Shore Music Association is proud to present the internationally acclaimed Ancia Saxophone Quartet in concert. Praised for their “energy, precision, and huge dynamic range” (Eugene Rousseau), the Ancia Saxophone Quartet has captivated audiences worldwide with their compelling interpretations and boundary-pushing repertoire. With over thirty years of experience, Ancia has established itself as one of the leading saxophone ensembles of its kind, commissioning and premiering works by renowned composers such as Libby Larsen, Jennifer Higdon, and Lei Liang.
Based in Minneapolis, Ancia is known not only for its adventurous programming—which spans from the medieval music of Hildegard von Bingen to the jazz of Duke Ellington—but also for its commitment to education and outreach. In advance of their Grand Marais performance, Ancia will work in-depth with students from ISD 166’s middle school band program on Friday, September 12, offering masterclasses and mentorship to the next generation of musicians.
This performance offers local audiences a rare opportunity to hear a world-class chamber ensemble live on the North Shore. Ancia’s dynamic performances and genre-spanning repertoire promise a concert experience that is both engaging and inspiring.
