Cultural Dialogues: An Evening of Saxophone and Organ

Experience the captivating fusion of modern and ancient sounds from international performers Jessica Dodge-Overstreet and Trinity Episcopal Cathedral's own music director Bryan Chuan. Saxophone and organ may seem like a strange combination of modern and ancient, but together they create an extremely powerful and moving ensemble. This unique ensemble breathes new life into a repertoire originally crafted for oboe, flute, and clarinet, showcasing the saxophone's strength and sensitivity alongside the organ's rich depth. The highlight of the evening is Antoine Auberson's original work, “Four Dances,” which beautifully intertwines the sacred music of the Renaissance with traditional Jewish styles. Prepare to be moved as the soprano saxophone evokes the mysticism of both cultures, imitating the expressive nuances of singing, klezmer, and halil. Join us for an unforgettable evening where the delicate, powerful, and acrobatic nature of the soprano saxophone takes center stage, creating a mesmerizing dialogue with the organ.
