Germany's Arcis Saxophon Quartett often presents its music in unusual locations and settings, which have included the desert in Saudi Arabia, a trailer stage in Bavaria, and an Ecuadorian mountain pass. The group teams with contemporary dance companies in its "arcis_collective" guise.
The group was formed in 2009 in Munich, where the members were students at the city's Hochschule für Musik und Theater, taking its name from Munich's student-oriented Arcis Street. The Arcis Saxophon Quartett studied at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater with Koryun Asatryan and Friedemann Berger, in Berlin with the Artemis Quartet at the Universität der Künste, and at the European Chamber Music Academy with Hatto Beyerle, the Alban Berg Quartet, and Johannes Meissl.
The quartet's debut album, Arcis Saxophon Quartett spielt Enjott Schneider, was released in 2013 on the Ambiente Audio label. It began to rack up competition honors in the mid-2010s, beginning with a first prize at the Musikwettbewerb des Kulturkreises Gasteig e.V. in Munich in 2013. They released several more albums, including Rasch (2017) on the Genuin label, featuring music by Bach, Gershwin, and Franco Donatoni. It appeared in 2023 on the album Luke Bedford: In the Voice of the Living.
