”Gold Medal winners Lotus Saxophone Quartet have distinguished themselves through their demonstration of effortless mastery of their instruments, deeply insightful interpretations of their repertoire, and a highly professional polished presentation. The medium of the saxophone quartet has, in recent decades, been enthusiastically embraced by composers across the stylistic spectrum [and] It’s not hard to understand why composers are drawn to the saxophone quartet when you hear an ensemble like the Lotus Quartet.
Dr. James Romain, Professor of Saxophone and Music Department Chair, Drake University
