Performances

Stetson’s Saxophone Workshop is an intense, weeklong event focusing on fundamental principles of saxophone performance, including an emphasis on specialized classes in Playing Techniques, Jazz, Chamber and FBA All-State audition music.

In celebration of Women’s History Month I performed Incandesence by Ida Gotkovsky with Kristie Born. Ida Gotkovsky is a French composer and pianist of Russian descent. She has written extensively for various instrumental ensembles and is particularly known for her compositions for wind instruments.

I performed works by composers from under-represented groups for tenor saxophone. This was my first recital entirely on tenor saxophone, which came about because I bought a new one! (YTS-875EX Custom, if you must know.)

In celebration of Black History Month I performed Samuel Coleridge Taylor’s Romance in G Major with Kristie Born. The Romance in G Major was first published in 1900, when Samuel was 25 years old, as a piece for violin and orchestra.
