Flamboyance, determination, and generosity.
Ever since it was created in Nantes in 2004, The Ellipsos Quartet has been inspired by these three values, developing into ambition for Paul-Fathi Lacombe (soprano saxophone), Julien Bréchet (alto saxophone), Sylvain Jarry (tenor saxophone), Nicolas Herrouët (baritone saxophone) and making the Quartet one of the most promising ensemble of chamber music of that generation.
