Noir Quartet is a premiere So-Cal based saxophone quartet featuring modern works and standard repertoire for four saxophones.
Noir Quartet was formed over a lunch back in May of 2013. Cameron, Laura, and Lee all went to school together at USC’s Thornton School of Music and have worked together in various musical capacities, including chamber ensembles, orchestras, wind ensembles, recording sessions, and new music performances. The newest member, Nicholas Casillas, a graduate of UCLA’s Herb Alpert School of Music, merged his talents with Noir Quartet in January of this year. Together, these four saxophonists and educators blend their artistry, creating a unique and captivating ensemble. Their repertoire includes everything from Bach to Ellington, as well as standard repertoire and new music written for the saxophone quartet idiom.
