About Sigma Project

“Is it really necessary to introduce SIGMA Project in 2019? The vast quantity of concerts the group has performed during its ten-year trajectory, mainly in Europe and Latin America, the number of works commissioned during that time period, and its participation in six recording productions ratify its remarkable role as one of the busiest Spanish groups and as ambassadors of newly created music.” (José Luis Besada, IRCAM/Strasbourg University)
Sigma Project or, in other words, the combined talents of Andrés Gomis, Ángel Soria, Alberto Chaves, and Josetxo Silguero, is more than a saxophone quartet. It is a crucial conduit for the instrumental music of the 21st century. If the string quartet was the quintessential chamber music formation in past centuries, Sigma Project claims that role for the saxophone quartet in the 21st century.
“I arrived in Mexico City and was whisked off to a concert at El Colegio Nacional, where Sigma Project, the Spanish saxophone quartet, was playing the world premiere of Alberto Posadas’s new three-piece cycle “Poética del Laberinto”. This was a wonderful opportunity to catch up with the magnificently accurate, inventive, and awe-inspiring playing of the Spaniards. I thought this sort of precision could only come from a string quartet.” (Irvine Arditti, June 2017)
Based in Madrid since its founding in 2008, Sigma Project has performed more than 150 concerts in auditoriums and festivals around the world. During its 10th anniversary international tour in 2018, the BBVA Foundation acknowledged Sigma Project's excellence by awarding the quartet the prestigious Leonardo Grant for Researchers and Musical Creators.
“Attending a concert by Sigma Project is embarking on a musical journey of constant bliss and awe … Listening to Sigma Project is, without a doubt, one of the most enriching experiences one can have.” (Mario Lavista, Tomás Luis de Victoria Prize for Iberoamerican Music, 2013)
