How do you like our new outfits?
This is one of the amazing photos we took with @edelweiss_tom a few weeks ago in the beautiful Dolomites.
It kind of symbolises us as a group, as a quartet, that is really connected and close as friends and working collegues even though we are most of the time really far apart due to the fact, that all four of us live in different cities.

In case you should have wondered about our name, we want to explain it to you:
• So first of all it is a string of the initials from the quartet members: Sonja, Alex, Greta and Sonja ☺️
• Further „sags“ is the german word for „say it“, so we want our name to be a symbol for our mission: Communicate with the audience through music since that’s the language everyone understands 💫

Großes Kompliment für das SAGS Quartet für dieses wundervolle Mitmach-Musikprojekt für Grundschulkinder.
Insgesamt über 220 Kinder in 9 Konzerten in verschiedenene Grundschulen der Region hatten sehr viel Spaß mit der so schön inszenierten Geschichte über das gestohlene Mundstück des Herrn Sax.
Und es gab vielfältige Musik für die jungen Ohren von Piazolla über Gershwin bis zu Edvard Grieg. Bei einer musikalischen Reise in vier verschiedene Länder konnten die Kinder mitsingen, mittanzen und sich rhytmisch betätigen. Und am Ende kannten sie nicht nur die Teile, aus denen ein Saxophon besteht, viele der Kinder wollen nun auch unbedingt selbst einmal Saxophon spielen. Denn das Saxophon ist das schönste Instrument auf der ganzen Welt. :)

Eine musikalische Weltreise -
Auf der Suche nach dem verlorenen Mundstück
by SAGS QUARTET aka Soprina Sopransax, Altina Altsax, Toni Tenorsax, Bariella Barisax and the one and only Adolphe Sax.
This week we performed our own musical theatre piece for kids between 4 and 7 years in several schools in Germany. It was an absolute pleasure. The kids loved it and so did we.
This whole piece was 100% selfmade: set design, costumes, plot, text, music. All of this wouldn‘t have been possible without the invitaion and support of @schlossweissenbrunn Stiftung. A big big thanks goes to you, dear Pia Preatorius, for hosting us, for taking care of us and for being a mentor. We absolutely loved the stay and had the best time! 🫶🏽
The show has been video rcorded by the amazing @yoelculiner and @plablus . It was a great honor for us to collaborate with these two amazing professionalists and kind souls ✨
