The Marlborough Arts Center is excited to host the Hierax Quartet for the 4th Friday @ the Arts Café series on Friday, January 23rd, 2026 at 7:30 PM.
The Hierax Quartet is a saxophone quartet formed in the Fall of 2024, composed of graduate students (Prescott Brown, Ben Levesque, Ashtyn Wolph, and Evan Blitzer) from The Hartt School of Music in Hartford, Connecticut, under the direction of Professor Carrie Koffman.
“Hierax Quartet is dedicated to redefining the role of the saxophone in the chamber music world. Through community engagement, the commissioning of new works, and the performance of bold, diverse programs, we aim to showcase the versatility and expressive power of the saxophone. We are committed to expanding the repertoire, both through original compositions and innovative arrangements, and to building inclusive spaces that welcome audiences of all backgrounds. By championing this relatively young ensemble format, we seek to legitimize the saxophone quartet as a vital and dynamic voice in contemporary music. We plan to play a collection of classical, contemporary, and popular songs; in other words, a little bit of everything!”
Admission to this program is subsidized by a Grant from the Marlborough Greater Together Community Fund of the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving.
