The Melbourne International Saxophone Festival returns in 2019 to bring together some of the best national and international musicians for a weekend of performances, masterclasses, and workshops.
Among others, you’ll hear world-renowned French saxophonist Vincent David (pictured above), as well international soloists Nikita Zimin (Russia), Emma McPhilemy (United Kingdom), Jamie Oehlers (Australia) and Diana Tolmie who will inspire and showcase the many wonders of saxophone through performance and teaching.
The new Yanagisawa, Eltham Woodwind and Brass Concert Series will run throughout the weekend and will innovate, explore, and push the boundaries of the instrument and its performance.
Melbourne Saxophone’s flagship educational programs — Ozwinds 100SAX! (Grade 5 and up), SmashSAX! (Grade 3 and 4 or equivalent), and Jazz Program (secondary and tertiary jazz saxophonists) will see more than 100 saxophone students from around Australia and the world rehearse and perform with the festival’s guest artists.
Find the full program and book your place on the Melbourne International Saxophone Festival website. It all takes place between 28-30 June.
