The Betty Quartet (DK/FO)
The music is composed by the Faroese/Danish soprano saxophonist Betty Ebenezer Magnussen. Betty makes music that you can stick to and has a nice ring to it. The music is characterized by strong melodies and changing rhythmic output.
The 4 musicians in The Betty Quartet create a present musical interaction, where the interaction between the playful, light and the poetic and profound is cleverly deliberate.
The distinctive sound of the quartet with Betty Ebenezer Magnussen’s soprano sax at the forefront of the poem is attractive and unique. It has a fundamentally optimistic mood and a bright tone, even in the most melancholy songs.
