Saxofoonensemble Conservatorium Maastricht

With an explosion of sound and energy, the Saxophone Ensemble of the Maastricht Conservatory sets the tone for a terrific lunchtime concert. This international group of bachelor’s and master’s students together form a vibrant community of young musicians, driven by artistic curiosity and a passion for both contemporary and classical repertoire. It is a multifaceted performance where music and dance are combined. From the Hungarian folk dances of Ferenc Farkas and the elegant Sonata for Bassoon and Cello by W.A Mozart, performed on 2 baritone saxophones, to the festivity of Dmitri Shostakovich’s Finale from Jazz Suite No. 2.

After the concert

A lunchtime concert is, of course, not complete without a delicious lunch. After the concert, enjoy a flavorful homemade soup and freshly baked bread in the Stadsfoyer. You can add this directly to your ticket!
