The Lunar Saxophone Quartet can announce today that Hannah Riches has joined the quartet group in time for up-coming 'FLUX' tour. After some discussion.., former alto player Lewis Evans has moved onto the tenor chair to make way for Hannah to take up the alto seat. Hannah is an extremely talented young saxophonist and having studied at both the RNCM and GSMD we are sure that she will make a superb addition to the group.
Collectively we would like to thank Tom Chapman for all his hard work over the last four years and wish him all the best in everything he does.
