Nobuya Sugawa Saxophone Recital with Philia Sax Band
Saturday Matinee Series - 13th
2025/01/25(sa.) 14:00 Starting
If one were to name a Japanese saxophone player who is well known to all saxophone aficionados, Nobuya Sugawa would certainly be at the top of the list. He has a mellow and beautiful tone, precise and dynamic expression, extremely high standards in solo, ensemble, and brass band performance, and has commissioned numerous new compositions for saxophone. Sugawa is truly a pioneer in the history of saxophone music, not only in Japan but throughout the world.
His saxophone playing has one major characteristic. While reaching a level of music that cannot be reached by ordinary players, his saxophone playing always has a sense of familiarity that never throws the listener off. This rare individuality is surely the result of the history that has supported his activities.
This time, the program consisted of a solo performance and an ensemble performance with a saxophone band formed at Philia Hall by the next generation of players who were trained by Sugawa. Expect an exciting stage performance of both familiar and unfamiliar tunes!
