| Gregor Bohmerle |
Greta Schaller (alto sax) and Gregor Bohmerle (baritone sax)
work successfully in Germany.
Together they are the Sirocco Saxophone Quartet.
The programme for these concerts,
is chamber music inspired by dance,
such as Piazzolla’s tangos, the charleston and klezmer,
to name but a few - along with a striking contemporary piece.
It is a lively programme that would appeal to a wide audience.

Bring your friends!
The Devon concerts are part of a series
to celebrate the launch of their first CD,
recorded in May 2014,
an exceptionally high quality recording called La Danza
and the programme they will play in Devon
will be largely drawn from that collection
- a journey through richly contrasting styles of dance
- music by Rossini, Manuel da Falla, Bernstein, Piazzolla etc
This is a lively programme with a refreshing panorama
of mood and colour - and unexpected twists
on familiar musical territory.
Nick Luscombe featured a (klezmer) track from this CD
on Late Night Junction (Radio 3) in August.
It would be amazing if you could let other people
in your networks know about the concert
… you could even get a couple of friends to come with you?!!!
Sirocco's concerts in Europe are always packed out
- it would be great if we could do the same here!
