Birmingham Saxophone Day

Sunday 18th October 2015

9.30am to 6.30pm

at Birmingham Conservatoire

The ever evolving Saxophone Department at Birmingham Conservatoire is one of the most vibrant and creative in the UK.

We throw open our doors and invite saxophone students, teachers and enthusiasts to take part in workshops, improvisation classes, ensemble coaching, quartet side-by-side sessions and much more.

Improve your ensemble skills, learn rehearsal techniques, pick up playing tips, check out new gear and discover new music, sharing the pleasure of playing the saxophone with like-minded enthusiasts. The day is open to saxophonists of all abilities, however an approximate level of grade 3 and above is advisable to get the most out of the day.

Your saxophone experts for the day will be the Conservatoire's Saxophone Department head, Naomi Sullivan alongside Conservatoire tutors Andy Tweed and Anna Brooks.

Special guest is Kyle Horch, visiting saxophone consultant, who will present a lunchtime performance with his critically acclaimed ensemble, Flotilla.

There will also be a good selection of trade stands at the event, including June Emerson Wind Music. We'll be taking all our saxophone music and books (approx. 48 boxes!) for you to browse through and buy. Card and cash payments accepted on the day.

Price:

£20 (£15 CASS members/U18)

June Emerson Wind Music is exhibiting at the World Saxophone Congress XVI

The WSCXVI International Trade Exhibiton represents the largest gathering of Saxophone retailers in the UK this year! From major international manufacturers through to small sheet music publishers the International Trade Exhibiton can cater for all your musical needs.

We will be bringing our entire stock of saxophone and saxophone-related sheet music and books (approximately 50 boxes) to the Congress, and will be pleased to take orders for any out of stock titles, to be sent post-free. We can't offer a discount, but we can offer an unrivalled selection and a first class service. We will be in the Parliament Hall.

The International Trade Exhibiton has two dedicated venues: 

St Andrews Town Hall: This venue hosts the major manufacturers and retailers as well specialised retailers selling equipment for your saxophone. The venue also has saxophone repair specialists present throughout the week. There is a demonstration area where retailers will be showing off their ranges of saxophones and accessories. There will be launches of new saxophones, accessories and books throughout the week.

Parliament Hall: This venue is the dedicated Publishers venue where you can scroll through thousands of musical works for the saxophone. The majority of works performed at the Congress will also be available to purchase at this venue.

Both venues will be open from 10am-5pm Wednesday – Saturday and 10am – 1pm Sunday. We strongly recommend that you take the time to visit the International Trade Exhibition, there is lots to see and try out!

Do come and visit us at our stall. We look forward to meeting you!
