After premiering Schattenspiel [Update, 12/4: now titled something golden in the night] with saxophonist Haruka Inoue at IRCAM on Saturday night, I am in Drammen, Norway, for tonight’s performance of the same piece by Australian saxophonist Joshua Hyde at this year’s Scandinavian Saxophone Festival. The festival runs all week and features above all a series of masterclasses for young saxophonists. Tonight’s concert is titled ‘Saxophone Today’ and Josh is also playing works by Sam Andreyev, Chris Dench, Liza Lim, Dai Fujikura, Philip Venables, Bruno Maderna and Luciano Berio. I’m also looking forward to the ‘Late Night In C’ on Wednesday, though I might need my earplugs…
