Re/Imaginations

Curated by saxophone professor Joshua Hyde, this chamber programme gathers teachers and nine students from the saxophone class to reimagine piano and other-instrument works. Through the homogeneous sonic color of a saxophone ensemble, familiar pieces are transformed into dense, luminous arrangements that explore timbre, breath and collective phrasing. Lighting and spatial placement shape intimate listening moments while an original approach to balance and articulation reveals new emotional contours, offering a compact yet resonant midday musical experience.

This piece, a blend of sports commentary and alpine storytelling, delves into our connection with achievement and performance, while also recalling the ghosts of the Eiger’s victims.
