Showcasing the versatility of the saxophone
Brilliant to be back rehearsing again today after a few months’ hiatus. We’re starting to get a programme together for a return to Wakefield Cathedral in July, and are delighted to welcome Becky, who will be playing tenor with us. The setlist is shaping up well already, with some great new material alongside a few old favourites: we’re looking forward to sharing it all with an audience!
If you haven’t yet seen our studio recording of the American folk favourite, “Turkey in the Straw”, hop across to our YouTube channel and give it a listen. Guaranteed to brighten your day!
If the pre-Christmas bustle is stressing you out, head over to our YouTube channel for a beautifully mellow and relaxing version of the classic song, “A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square” – the next release from our live studio recording session at Leeds Conservatoire.
The first of our new studio recordings is now out! An arrangement made specially for Saxofonie of Anne Dudley’s evocative and catchy jazz-era theme for ITV’s classic series “Jeeves and Wooster”. If this doesn’t cheer up a dark December evening, nothing will!
Saxofonie had a fantastic studio recording session at Leeds Conservatoire last weekend! Huge thanks to the students and staff who gave up their time and did all the technical wizardry. We got some great takes (audio and video) of old and new favourites, and we’re really looking forward to sharing the results with you once … Read more

For our first public performance post-pandemic, we’ve put together a fantastic programme, showcasing both some of our old favourites and some newer repertoire, with (we hope) something for everyone! Hope … Read more
And what better way to celebrate than a bit of festive busking? If the weather forecast remains on track, we’ll be on the streets of central York this coming Sunday 19 December from about 1 pm for a couple of hours of favourite Yuletide tunes and carols. To get you in the mood, how about a reminder of this gem from last year’s festive video highlights?
Another fab rehearsal this afternoon, pulling together repertoire for a spot of busking (we hope!) on 5th August in central York. Great to be brushing up some old favourites and polishing a load of new material as well. If the sun shines (or if it doesn’t rain, at least), we should be ready with some … Read more
Had a truly wonderful in-person rehearsal last weekend, despite having to stay socially distanced. Such an absolute joy to be able to play together after nearly 15 months of being stuck at home with just a microphone and a click track for company!! We played through about a dozen new pieces which we’ve acquired or … Read more
For our final festive video for Christmas 2020, a jaunty rendering of Leroy Anderson’s Sleigh Ride, we have a couple of guest performers who totally steal the show. William and Stanley, take a bow!!
