from USA

The music of David DeBoor Canfield has been heard on four continents, and has been performed by some of the world's most accomplished soloists, including saxophonists Kenneth Tse, Claude Delangle and retired MUSC Timothy Roberts, violinists Andrés Cárdenas and Rachel Patrick, pianists David Brunell and Benjamin Boren, and ensembles such as the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, Columbus Indiana Philharmonic and the United States Navy Band.

Canfield was born in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on September 23, 1950. Early musical studies were with his father, John Canfield, and graduate studies in composition were undertaken at Indiana University, where Canfield studied primarily with John Eaton. He received his Master of Music in 1977 and Doctor of Music in 1983. Canfield's music has won numerous accolades including first place in the Jill Sackler Composition Contest and the Dean's Prize from Indiana University. His work was featured in a three-day festival given by faculty and students of the University of Central Oklahoma. Canfield also teaches Church history and biblical theology at ClearNote Pastors College in Bloomington, Indiana. His music is published by Evensong Music, Enharmonic Press, Jeanné Music Publications and Editions Recherché, and is recorded on the Crystal, Bloomington Symphony Orchestra, US Navy Band, Enharmonic, MSR, and Recherché labels.

Widely recognized as one of the world’s leading classical saxophonists, Kenneth Tse is certainly one of the instrument’s outstanding proponents on any saxophone aficionado’s short list. He burst on the scene in 1996 as the winner of the prestigious New York Artists International Award, which resulted in an acclaimed debut recital at Carnegie Hall, after which he was hailed as “a young virtuoso” by the New York Times. The Alex Award from the National Alliance for Excellence led to another Carnegie Hall performance. These are but two of the multitude of awards that Tse has garnered in less than a decade and a half. Since then he has been a frequent soloist on five continents, including solo appearances with the Des Moines Symphony, United States Navy Band, Slovenia Army Band, La Armónica Band of Bunol, Spain, Thailand Philharmonic Orchestra and Hong Kong Sinfonietta among others. He is frequent featured artist at events such as the triennial World Saxophone Congress and North American Saxophone Alliance conferences. He has also been a guest clinician at conferences hosted by the California Band Directors’ Association, Iowa Bandmaster’s Association, and the Midwest International Band and Orchestra Clinics. Prestigious universities and conservatories worldwide, such as Moscow Conservatory and Paris Conservatory have invited him to give master classes.

Carina Rascher, born in Cambridge, New York in 1945, started studying saxophone with her father Sigurd Rascher at the age of five and gave her first concert the following year. In 1952, she began performing duo concerts with her father, for which many new works were composed. Her early years included performances in New York's Town Hall and Carnegie Hall, as well as concerts in Stockholm, Prague and many other European and American cities. Additionally, she was a featured soloist among others with both the Munich Philharmonic and Berlin Philharmonic Orchestras. As a founding member of the acclaimed Rascher Saxophone Quartet, she performed in major venues around the world for 33 years until her retirement in 2002. She was also a founding member of the Rascher Saxophone Orchestra. Throughout her career, Carina Rascher participated in countless premiers (over 300) of works written for her, the Rascher Duo, the Rascher Quartet or the Rascher Orchestra, many of which are now standards in the repertoire. In 2005, she donated her father's estate to the State University of New York in Fredonia including original composer manuscripts, hundreds of live recordings, programs, press materials, photos, personal artefacts, and some 7000 letters in multiple languages.
