The tour will run from 7 to 15 April, taking in four concerts in Pretoria, Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town. The ensemble will also lead four Saxophone Symposia across the country, coaching and giving masterclasses to young classical and jazz saxophone players from across South Africa. The Apollo Saxophone Quartet will join the Artverk Quartet from The Netherlands and local soloists Matthew Lombard and Karendra Devroop in these saxophone showcase concerts.
