Sax in Shanghai: Free concert and workshop April 12, 2007

This concert and workshop given by Great Britain's National Saxophone Choir will feature about 20 saxophonists who regularly play with the NSC as well as any and all sax players who attend the workshop. During the workshop from 5 to6, the NSC members will invite everyone to play and prepare a few pieces that will be performed by everyone together at the concert. The concert itself will start at 7pm and will include a short feature by the saxophone group from the Shanghai Conservatory led by Zhang Xiaolu.

The entire thing is free and open to the public, and will be a great chance for learners of the saxophone at any skill level to pick up some useful knowledge, skills, and experience. Besides that, the NSC will probably bring wacky fun saxophones of all sizes that you never thought existed, like a sopranino (which is even smaller than a soprano sax) and a miniscule soprillo (even smaller!). The NSC specially prepares a custom program for each concert they play, so expect an impressive show.
