Spanish sax sounds at Ashton College

The charismatic Catalan saxophonist David Salleras returns to South Africa to renew ties with pianist Christopher Duigan on June 27 at 7pm at Grace Hall, Ashton International College.

Salleras, who lives in Barcelona, Spain, has attracted international attention through his fluency in a variety of musical styles. His innovative compositions, which incorporate traditional flamenco idioms with contemporary and avant-garde performing techniques, are performed by saxophonists worldwide.

This performance is part of a series of Music Revival concerts and will see Duigan and Salleras perform works from the traditional saxophone repertoire by Jules Demersseman, JS Bach, Darius Milahaud’s Scaramouche and music from Spanish composer/saxophonist by Pedro Itturalde.

Itturalde’s Suite Hellenique traditionally offers pianist and saxophonist plenty of opportunity to explore a wide range of dynamic interplay through a variety of musical styles.

Also on the programme will be Salleras and Duigan’s own creative arrangements of music by Astor Piazzolla, Salleras’ own solo Caprices, and Duigan’s compositions from the albums Indigo and Midnight Blue.
