Description
STEVEN BANK, SAXOPHONIST/COMPOSER WITH XAK BJERKEN, PIANO; PRINCIPAL STRING OF THE MET ORCHESTRA Winner of the prestigious 2022 Avery Fisher Career Grant, Steven Banks is poised to become today’s leading ambassador for the classical saxophone. A compelling and charismatic performer and an innovative composer, Banks is committed to rethinking and expanding the boundaries of the instrument and classical music itself. His program will feature an eclectic range of music, ranging from Mozart’s lilting oboe quartet arranged for soprano saxophone and string trio to 20th-century saxophone classics by Debussy and Schulhoff to Steven Banks’ own powerfully expressive works, As I Am and Come As You Are. The afternoon will reveal the full gamut of his artistic persona, instrumental virtuosity, and creative spirit. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Quartet for oboe (soprano saxophone) and strings, K. 370 Erwin Schulhoff: Hot Sonate for alto saxophone and piano Steven Banks: As I Am for baritone saxophone and piano Claude Debussy: Rhapsody for alto saxophone and piano Astor Piazolla: Milonga for alto saxophone and piano Steven Banks: Come As You Are for tenor saxophone and piano WHILE INSIDE THE CHURCH, ALL ATTENDEES MUST WEAR A PROPERLY FITTING MASK.
