The Sydney-based Nexas Quartet is a trailblazing saxophone ensemble known for redefining the boundaries of chamber music. Comprising saxophonists Michael Duke, Andrew Smith, Nathan Henshaw, and Jay Byrnes, the quartet has garnered widespread recognition for their exceptional musicianship and unique artistic approach. United by the folkloric influences inherent in a diverse selection of music from Bartók, Guillermo Lago, Jacques Ibert, Elena Kats- Chernin, Lutosławski, and Annbjørg Lien, their recital includes two collaborations with our Head of Woodwind, Lloyd Van’t Hoff, and concludes with performances of Grainger and Dvořák performed alongside students of the Elder Conservatorium.
