3. ABO-Konzert „Grazer Saxophonquartett“ in Fürstenfeld

Austria's oldest saxophone quartet performs at the Grabher House on March 11. Of the founding members, only Dieter Pätzold from Lienz has remained in the quartet to this day.

The Graz Saxophone Quartet emerged from the saxophone quartet of the Graz State Conservatory founded by Prof. Oto Vrhovnik in 1980, which was successfully continued by his student Dieter Pätzold after his appointment to Vienna and rose to become a master ensemble. Contemporary, predominantly Styrian composers contributed to the quartet's international success.

Lively concert activity in Austria, radio and television broadcasts as well as concert tours in Europe, Asia and Africa contributed to the quartet's popularity. In 2020, the anniversary CD “40 Years Graz Saxophone Quartett” was released on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the Graz Saxophone Quartett with an epoch-dependent line-up. Of the founding members, Dieter Pätzold from Lienz has remained in the quartet to this day.

Severin Neubauer from Korneuburg, Katja Zwanziger from Murau and Daniel Dundus from Graz with Croatian roots are graduates of Prof. Gerald Preinfalk's saxophone class at the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz. Preinfalk himself is a graduate of Prof. Oto Vrhovnik. All three musicians also perform internationally as soloists and chamber musicians. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
