Sax Transcends for Saxophone Quartet and Narrator

I am very excited to have finished writing a new 12-minute work called “Sax Transcends for Saxophone Quartet and Narrator.” It is like the ghost of Adolphe Sax, the inventor of the saxophone, returns from the dead to tell his life story, which is interspersed with the music. And a colorful life it was! Intrigue, betrayal and an assassination attempt by rival instrument manufacturers!
