from Australia
The Rhythmicon Group is a collection of ten saxophonists from Belgium, Australia, New Zealand, The Nertherlands and Northern Ireland, who have united to perform Russell Gilmour's Earth-shaking work, Rhythmicon, at the 2012 Saxophone Congress. The musicians, Niels Bijl, Jabra Latham, Nick Russoniello, Benjamin Price, Simon Brew, Ilja Terwinge, Hendrik Pellens, Franziska Schroeder, Thomas McKay and Mitch Ellis are drawn from ensembles including The Four Baritones, Latham & Price Duo, 22SQ Saxophone Quartet, Aurelia Saxophone Quartet and the Hobart Saxophone Orchestra. Between them, as individuals, the players have earned an extensive list of recognitions, awards, recordings, fellowships, scholarships and performances throughout the world. St Andrews will be the first performance by The Rhythmicon Group, and the first performance outside Australia of this big Gilmour work. The idea sparked over dinner in Tasmania during Bijl's 2010 Australasian Tour. |
