Having met as seniors and juniors, the members have performed together without any lineup changes since their formation. Their long-standing collaboration is credited for their stability, smoothness, and dynamic energy on stage, which are considered their key strengths. Building on this, they have performed over 1,000 times on various stages both in Korea and abroad, and their 2019 regular concert was a great success.

This December Art M Concert will showcase the saxophone, an instrument that shines brightest when delivering moving melodies and is capable of playing a wide range of genres. In celebration of Christmas and the year-end season, the program is designed to be accessible and enjoyable for audiences of all ages.

The main program includes classical pieces such as Johann Sebastian Bach's "Air on the G String" and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's ballet music "The Nutcracker Suite," as well as works from various genres like Astor Piazzolla's "Libertango," Joe Hisaishi's "Merry-Go-Round of Life," and "The Lion King Selections" by Elton John and Hans Zimmer, featuring tango, new age, and contemporary music.

In particular, a surprise encore performance is planned for the finale, heightening audience anticipation. Special stage effects and interactive elements will add to the Christmas atmosphere, creating unique moments that can only be experienced in person.

A Hyundai Pharm Art M Concert representative said, "The name S.with reflects the group's aim to communicate with the audience through the saxophone, and they will deliver music that lives up to this meaning. We hope you will take this opportunity to experience a high-quality performance that goes beyond the traditional limits of saxophone music as we approach the end of the year."
