The greatest music ever written,
performed by saxophone quartet

Einsteinium Quartet is a San Francisco saxophone ensemble performing chamber music which spans the range of classical, jazz, and everything in between.

We can start things off formally with a movement from Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, and then proceed with the haunting melody of Duke Ellington's Isfahan. Or if popular music is more your style, you can't go wrong with The Beatles' Eleanor Rigby, Chicago's 25 or 6 to 4, or The Beach Boys' I Get Around. Our wide variety of musical styles has delighted audiences of all ages.
