Home-Grown Saxophones: Canadian music for classical saxophone quartet, with works by Fred Stride, David Branter, Violet Archer, and Beatrice Ferreira.

Julia Nolan: soprano saxophone
Kris Covlin: alto saxophone
David Branter: tenor saxophone
Colin MacDonald: baritone saxophone

Formed in 1996, the Vancouver-based saxophone quartet Saxophilia has been committed to giving the highest quality performances of classical saxophone repertoire. All of the quartet members are active performers in Vancouver’s music community, as soloists and as band members in a wide variety of styles from classical to jazz to popular music. This appreciation of a diversity of music informs the group’s choice of repertoire, which ranges from the standard repertoire of classical saxophone quartet, to contemporary music, to jazz arrangements and lighter fare. In 2018, the ensemble released their self-titled recording Saxophilia, featuring the music of BC composers Dorothy Chang, Peter Hannan, and Colin MacDonald.
