Lesson Schedule Sign Up Sheet

A sign up sheet for lessons and chamber music (quartets) is posted on the Saxophone Studio door.

Students are encouraged to check their timetable for both semesters before signing up for a lesson time in order to keep the same lesson time for both semesters.

Please note: ensemble audition protocol is now posted under the Ensemble Audition Material and Protocol tab.

Quartet soprano saxophonists, in consultation with peers, determine a weekly coaching time with the Instructor on Wednesday afternoons following master class.

Check the Master Class section of the blog (right column) and the Handbook to confirm your performance dates in master class.

Redshift Music Society • Trout Lake Concert

This past weekend yours truly and members of Vis à Vis Saxophone Quartet joined with Saxophilia based in Vancouver for the Da Lontano concert at Trout Lake.

DA LONTANO

With Saxophilia and Vis À Vis

Saturday August 17, 2013 at 7 PM

TROUT LAKE AT JOHN HENDRY PARK

FREE ADMISSION

In the serene setting of one of East Vancouver's most cherished green spaces, two saxophone quartets – Vancouver's own Saxophilia, and Victoria's Vis à Vis – will perform together for the first time in a unique, outdoor musical experience. Dispersed around Trout Lake as the sun sets, they will play new works by BC composers Daniel Brandes, Colin MacDonald, Iman Habibi, Jordan Nobles and a classic work by New York composer Daniel Goode. Bring the family, a picnic, and come enjoy a long summer twilight accompanied by music.

Performers were stationed approximately 100 feet apart at the edge of the lake and were given stop watches to coordinate events.
