Augmented Saxophone Performance: Mixed music for Saxophone
Taking in consideration the new audio culture that emerged in the late 20th century calling attention to the potential of all sounds to be musical material, the phenomenon of interaction between instrumental and electroacoustic sounds became a fundamental point of interest of contemporary music. While the aesthetics of acoustic and electronic sounds are creating mutual influences, composers and sound designers develop new languages, new gestural attitudes, new extended techniques, new notation methods and inclusively new instrumental developments.
Who is this masterclass for? All Saxophonists and technologists.

The concept of the masterclass is that interested participants form an ensemble and rehearse for 90 minutes for two to three days of the conference, and then perform a 20-minute recital on one of the last days. It should be made up of community members, saxophone students of all ages, and any professionals interested in participating. The focus of the master class is the mastery and performance of a selection from the diverse and dynamic saxophone repertoire of the popular American saxophone sextet, The Moanin' Frogs. In the process, participants will receive instruction on saxophone fundamentals, intonation, group sound, and musicianship.

* Please keep in mind that if you will be needing a pianist for the participation in a masterclass, you have to organize it yourself. The Congress can only put you in touch with some potential pianists.
* Frederick Hemke chose the participants of his masterclass in advance so you cannot apply to it.
