On their third album, Building Bridges (2024), Syrene Saxophone Quartet temporarily leave their rocky islands in the azure seas and put their feet firmly in the Dutch clay. The art of building bridges, both physical and metaphorical, requires a delicate balance. It is a dance between curiosity and caution, between the urge to explore and the need to stay safe. Composers Jacob Ter Veldhuis (1951), Douwe Eisenga (1961) and producer Kypski (1978) have taken to the pen, resulting in three solid works from Dutch soil.
