Signum is an ensemble with two faces. As a five-strong group, it performs a spicy mix of folk, jazz, Latin, and Balkan sounds. The four-strong Signum Saxophone Quartet plays the classical repertoire in original transcriptions, as well as new works by contemporary composers. An intriguing double life of great musical interest.
