Arcis Saxophone Quartet to Perform at El Camino College

The Arcis Saxophone Quartet is set to perform at El Camino College, sharing a spirit of experimentation, artistry, and boundless curiosity while exploring new musical territories.

Titled “Quirky Nightclub Chronicles,” the performance is scheduled for 8 p.m. March 7 and brings the vibe of the most popular nightclubs into Marsee Auditorium. Arcis promises creative arrangements, powerful interpretations, and a touch of eccentricity with the program that features compositions from Frank Zappa, Marc Mellits, and Erwin Schulhoff, to name a few. Elaborate set and light design, sound, and captivating introductions are as much a part of the concert experience for the four multitalented musicians as their energetic interpretations, finely balanced arrangements, and commissioned compositions from all over the world.

Named after Munich’s iconic Arcis Street, the award-winning quartet has emerged as one of the most vibrant and active classical ensembles globally. Whether on the highest pass in Ecuador, in the middle of the Saudi Arabian desert, on the cliffs in the American Atlantic, or in the sold-out Philharmonie in Berlin, the four saxophonists feel at home everywhere with their music.

The Arcis artistic vision flows into all aspects of their work: After two debut CDs, “Arcis Saxophon Quartett spielt Enjott Schneider” (2013) on the Ambiente Audio label, and “Rasch” (2017) on Genuin, the four musicians founded their own record label, Arcis Records, and established Arcis Visuals, an in-house production company, to take care of their visual and media content.
