from USA

Founded in 2009 by former classmates at Indiana University (USA), The Echo Rogue Saxophone Trio is a dynamic chamber ensemble, dedicated to the performance of modern music. Consisting of successful saxophone soloists Christopher Anderson, Matthew Mahaffey, and Jeffrey Vickers, Echo Rogue presents exciting new works in a variety of settings as a modular ensemble, allowing composers the freedom of instrumentation at their disposal. The ensemble has collaborated with numerous international composers, commissioning new music and presenting several premieres with over a dozen international composers, such as Claudio Gabriele (Italy), Camille Kerger (Luxembourg), Robert Lemay (Canada), Christian Lauba (France), and Carlos Michans (Netherlands).

This event is a premiere

Concetto Spaziale - Robert Lemay

Concetto Spaziale was commissioned by Echo Rogue as a trio, as one quartet member was unable to attend WSC XVI. The composer uses hall spacing to create surround-sound effect. The piece is an homage to Lucio Fontana, an Italian painter and sculptor who is considered the founder of Spatialism.

Flight - Camille Kerger

Flight is a relatively new duo for alto saxophones. The piece was commissioned by Phillipe Geiss. It requires virtuosic technique from both players, especially in the area of volume.
