Australasian Saxophone Collective
The Australasian Saxophone Collective brings together leading saxophonists from Australia and New Zealand. The collective draws on the friendships and years of artistic collaborations between saxophonists who form quartets to present distinguished saxophone quartet performances.
The ASC focusses on performing arts as well as education. We aim to organise community events with high standard chamber music concerts and workshops for all ages, levels and genres.
