Andrzej Waszczuk is the founder and mentor of the Saxophone Quartet. The ensemble, which he has guided for the past ten years is his great passion. The Saxophone Quartet is achieving an increasingly better artistic proficiency. The ensemble has performed many times at various competitions and auditions, winning prizes and honourable mentions, including an honourable mention at the 15th Wind Instruments Festival in Biała Podlaska (2012), 2nd prize at the 5th Macro-regional Chamber Wind Ensemble Competition in Tomaszów Lubelski and 3rd prize at the 16th Wind Instruments Festival in Biała Podlaska (2013).

The Quartet regularly performs at the Witold Lutosławski Forum of Contemporary Art organised by the Lublin Philharmonic and by the Maria Curie-Skłodowska University.
