Auckland Philharmonia Concert

The APO are putting on a concert filled with gorgeous works including saxophone(s).

 piano soloist Ewa Kupiec


Milhaud La Création du Monde

Bernstein On the waterfront: Symphonic Suite

Rachmaninov Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, op. 43


Gershwin An American in Paris

 

The Rachmaninov is the only work which doesn't use saxophone in this programme. Gershwin's American in Paris uses 3, and exploits the jazzy side of the saxophone, while Milhaud's glorious creation puts saxophone forward as a soloist for nearly the entire work.

More details and tickets are available from the APO website: here
