Combining the diverse paths of two pairs of saxophone players, Compass Quartet – Christina Leonard, Jeremy Rose, Matthew Ottignon, Luke Gilmour – forms one of the most interesting and dynamic groups to emerge in Australia’s music scene.

Inspired by the idea of breaking down barriers between classical music and improvised jazz, Compass Quartet takes an innovative and flexible approach to concert programming, combining influences as that are distinct, new and unusual. Their three released albums include Abrazo Tango, Ode to an Auto Rickshaw and Oneirology.
