Celebrating American Composers with Classical Saxophone

The Recital will be held in the Contemporary Sanctuary, located on E. Broad Street. There is a parking lot in front of the glass entrance.

Classical saxophonist Maureen Walsh is thrilled to return to Fairbanks Alaska, joined by pianist Nikola Paskalov and cellist Daniel Strawser. In anticipation of the 250th anniversary of the United States, the program will feature mostly Walsh's original arrangements and highlights the richness and diversity of American composition.

Audiences will enjoy the tender charm of Aaron Copland's Duo, a thrilling medley from Gershwin's Porgy and Bess, a selection from John Williams' saxophone concerto from the movie Catch Me if You Can, and Tallahatchie Concerto by Dutch composer Jacob Ter Velduis, a vivid soundscape inspired by the American West.

On the program:

Aaron Copland Duo

William Grant Still Summerland

George Gershwin Porgy and Bess Suite

Jennifer Higdon Yes, No, Maybe?

John Williams Reflections from Escapades

Jacob TerVelduis Tallahatchie Concerto
