Hello everyone!
Next friday is the big day for our saxophone department, and what better way to kick start your day than with a home-made, freshly baked saxophone recital, bright and breezy for you on a friday morning! I know it might be a touch outrageous advertising my final college recital here on Facebook(!), but it would be so nice to have an audience so that it feels like a proper concert...

This year, I am exploring some Latin themes (for a change!)... I'll be accompanied by Ben Powell and Chris Roe, with some special guests including the Tortoise Island String 4tet and the Barbierian Brass Band!

Would be wonderful to see you there :-)
