The Area 9 Quartet is a Boston-based ensemble dedicated to exploring the rich, diverse and
ever growing chamber music repertoire for saxophone. Recent performances have included
works by Bach, Debussy, Glazunov and Vaughan Williams, as well as compositions by Sidney
Bechet, Paul McCartney, Freddie Mercury and Herbie Hancock. Area 9 is also proud to have
commissioned and debuted new works by contemporary composers, including Jun Feng’s
“Somehow, Tango”, performed at the Longy School of Music in Cambridge, MA in 2015, and
Michael Kosch’s “Castle in the Air”, which Area 9 premiered at the Metropolitan Playhouse in
NYC in December of 2016.
