Signum Saxophone Quartet

Ali McGregor

The musicians of the Signum Saxophone Quartet, who won hearts across Australia on their debut tour, return with a new collaborator — Ali McGregor, the opera star turned cabaret queen. Together, they embark on a journey from Berlin to Hollywood, stopping at a shadowy nightclub, a Shakespearean tragedy, a Broadway musical, and even a Wild West rodeo, before finally arriving somewhere over the rainbow.

The first half of the 20th century was a time of radical change — socially, politically, and artistically. While history books tell one version, artists, composers, and performers offer another. As Musica Viva Australia reflects on 80 years of sharing these stories, they take us on a journey from moody monochrome to vibrant technicolour, and from introspective darkness to blazing hope.

> ...there are not enough superlatives to describe McGregor's voice, or how listening to it makes you feel right in the core of your being. Completely exhilarating.
