Named after the Sierra Estrella Mountain Range near Tempe, AZ, the Estrella Consort is a saxophone quartet committed to the performance of exciting works, both old and new. The group was founded in 2010 while all members were studying with Dr. Timothy McAllister, and has performed both nationally and internationally. In 2011 the Estrella Consort was invited to tour Ecuador as part of a cultural exchange, performing and giving masterclasses in Cuenca, Loja, and Guayaquil. The group has also performed at the renowned Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix, presented guest artist recitals and workshops at numerous institutions throughout the country and frequently performs at the Biennial North American Saxophone Alliance Conferences. The group is currently working on a recording project that will include Xenakis’ Xas as well as newer works for saxophone quartet.
