XVIII World Saxophone Congress in Zagreb

XVIII World Saxophone Congress, Zagreb, 10th until 14th of July 2018.

The World Saxophone Congress was first organized in 1969, in Chicago, and so far it has been held, apart from the United States of America, in England, Scotland, Spain, Slovenia, France, Germany, Japan, Thailand, Italy and Canada. It is a unique opportunity to meet top professional musicians, students and amateurs, saxophonists of all styles and musical expressions ranging from classical music to jazz, to ethnic and world music.

The Congress enables its participants to present themselves as soloists or as chamber musicians with small ensembles, wind, string or symphony orchestras, to exchange opinions and experiences through lectures, presentations, various workshops and discussions with colleagues and friends, and especially to present and give first performances of new works by contemporary composers written for saxophone. In addition to musicians, the Congress is also attended by instrument makers, manufacturers of saxophone equipment, as well as distributors and publishers of scores and other publications.

A special wish of the organizer of this Saxophone Congress in Zagreb is for the concert to take place at public venues to the greatest extent possible, and not only in professional circles; for the programs to become a part of the cultural summer scene of Zagreb, whether performed on the usual concert stages or at numerous unconventional locations. Certain Congress programs will be offered to the organizers of festivals and cultural events all over Croatia.

Special emphasis will be placed on educational programs for children and young saxophonists and Zagreb will be a reputable host of the XVIII World Saxophone Congress.
