Formed in 2002, the Nexas Quartet is one of Australia's leading Saxophone Quartets. Since its formation, the Quartet has actively supported new Australian music, working with new Australian composers to create and realise their musical ideas.

 

Nexas is considered one of Australia's most promising chamber music ensembles. Since it’s formation, the quartet has been active in supporting new Australian music, providing young and established composers with an outlet for their compositions to be workshopped and performed.

 

In 2003, Nexas were awarded the Wal Hardwick Memorial Scholarship for excellence in chamber music by the Sydney Conservatorium of Music Association.

 

Nexas are an open-minded ensemble that shows no fear in exploring the polymorphic nature of the saxophone. This was aptly demonstrated by their 2004 collaboration with the PACT theatre group. Here Nexas performed music written by Margery Smith, as well as utilizing contemporary improvisation in the work ‘Songs of Ghosts’.

 

In July of 2004 Nexas attended the European University for the Saxophone, held in Gap, France. Here the quartet gave performances of French and Australian music, including European premieres of works by Paul Stanhope, Stuart Greenbaum and Margery Smith. Nexas has been privileged to perform in master-classes with Claude Delangle (Professor of Saxophone at the Paris Conservatoire), and the Diastema Quartet (Paris).
