Sigma Project - New Mexican Music for Saxophone Quartet (2023)

SIGMA Project (or, in other words, the combined talents of Andrés Gomis, Ángel Soria, Alberto Chaves, and Josetxo Silguero) is more than a saxophone quartet. It is a crucial conduit for the instrumental music of the 21st century. If the string quartet was the quintessential chamber music formation in past centuries, SIGMA Project claims that role for the saxophone quartet in the 21st century.

Based in Madrid since its creation, SIGMA Project, real ‘Ardittis’ of the saxophone (named as such by Scherzo magazine) has performed more than 150 concerts in auditoriums and festivals halfway across the world: in the United States of America, Jamaica, Buenos Aires (Teatro Colón), Bogotá (Teatro Mayor), Ciudad de Mexico (Palacio de Bellas Artes), Santiago de Chile (Auditorio GAM), Germany, France, Scotland, England, Italy, Poland, Romania, Croatia and Tunisia, as well as its own circuit in Spain.

SIGMA Project’s members see themselves as creative explorers that manage to stimulate the composers who approach their sound, generating new grammars in a real sound laboratory, such as the monographic cycles developed with the winners of the Spanish National Music Prize Alberto Posadas (Poética del Laberinto cycle) and José María Sánchez-Verdú (KHÔRA cycle) —both works are published on record by the prestigious German label Wergo, in 2020 and 2021, respectively— or the exciting collaborations with Luis De Pablo and Félix Ibarrondo in their corresponding concerts for saxophones and symphonic orchestra.
