Houston Underground 2012 is tomorrow!

Chamber music has always been a favorite genre for composers, performers, and audiences. Students and professionals alike look to chamber music as one of the highest means of musical expression and enjoyment. Although the Saxophone, like other classical instruments, has a wealth of excellent quartets written particularly for it, the audience enjoying the music remains unfortunately small.

The Houston Underground Saxophone Quartet Competition is an independent saxophone quartet competition open to all current high school students. Designed to encourage saxophone quartet performance and chamber music appreciation, Houston Underground provides an opportunity for students to showcase their abilities, make connections with other saxophonists, gain performance experience, and compete against other quartets.

The 2012 Competition will take place on Saturday, May 12th. Applications may be downloaded here.

UPDATE

The 2012 application period is now closed.
