Maat Saxophone Quartet performs on Wednesday, 23 September 2026 at 4 p.m. at Het Vogelnest in Dordrecht. The ensemble presents a programme for four saxophones in different registers, where jazz and classical music meet. This concert is one of six Dutch dates on the group's tour, with several performances taking place in Dordrecht itself. The four saxophones complement and reinforce each other, creating a distinctive blend of both musical traditions.
