As a student of saxophone performance, Beigai's studies took him from the University of the Arts in Berlin to the Royal College of Music in London and then to Rutgers University in New Jersey. As a composer, he has worked extensively in TV and film, documentaries and animation. For his former saxophone quartet, clair-obscur, Biegai has composed a three-movement homage: to clair-obscur, to Berlin, and to the composers who have influenced him. The sound imagery would be very much at home in film as well as the recital program. The first movement can be heard at the clair-obscur website.
