The AMAT SAX QUARTET was founded in 2020 by four talented student saxophonists in Milan, Aldo Figheri, Annamaria Savitteri, Michele Antonio Scialpi, Tommaso Michelotti, them all studied with Mario Marzi and Marco Bontempo.
« We chose BG because, by using its ligatures, we have seen significant improvements in intonation, sound, homogeneity between the four instruments »
During the years they wanted to improve technique, so they started in 2022 to study together chamber music in quartet with Emanuela Piemonti.
From the beginning they were very encouraged to play, for this reason the ASQ did a lot of concerts and international competitions from 2020 to today.
« The ease of sound emission developed by these ligatures allows us to obtain all the desired sonorities »
