The Classical Saxophone Project is dedicated to fostering an appreciation of the saxophone as a  classical instrument through works by both established and new composers via performance, recording, and educating the next generation of both artists and listeners alike.

Embark on an evening of elegance and philanthropy at the Spring Soirée presented by the Classical Saxophone Project. This enchanting event seamlessly marries the artistry of classical saxophone performances with the noble cause of supporting the arts. Set against the backdrop of the season's renewal, this fundraising event promises a delightful fusion of exquisite music and charitable giving. Immerse yourself in the velvety tones and emotive melodies of the saxophone, all while contributing to the flourishing of musical education and appreciation. The Spring Soirée is not merely a celebration of spring but also a meaningful gathering where the joy of music converges with the spirit of generosity. Join us for an evening of inspiration, where the Classical Saxophone Project harmonizes the beauty of spring with the harmonious chords of social impact, creating a memorable experience that resonates long after the final notes have faded away.
