O SMOSE Q UARTET
The Osmose Saxophone Quartet was formed in 2003 at the Conservatoire de Paris (Paris Advanced Music and Dance Conservatory). With a vivid attachment to contemporary music and a passion for chamber music, the quartet makes their beginning in Laszlo Hadady’s and Michel Moraguès’ master classes in Paris Conservatory (CNSMDP). After a Higher Diploma in chamber music with honours and unanimous vote in June 2005 and willing to further their skills in chamber music in the CNSMDP, a place bustling with life and artistic exchange, the Quatuor Osmose enter the final year (3rd cycle) in chamber music with a unanimous vote. Besides studying in the CNSMDP, the group meet up and work with fellow musicians such as their elders: the Quatuor Diastema, the Quatuor Habanera and the Aurelia Saxophone Quartet, also with Jens Mc Manama and Arno Bornkamp.
