About
Have you ever wondered what goes through the mind of the saxophone section as they practice, perform, improvise, and run their music business? We want to welcome music enthusiasts and saxophonists of any skill level to an interactive masterclass with Jeremy Brown and Eric Friedenburg, two of the CJO’s saxophonists. They will perform some Jazz excerpts, answer questions from the public and offer technique advice and other recommendations to improve the musicianship of those in the room. Interactive masterclass, bring your instrument if you'd like!
Dr. Jeremy Brown is a conductor, saxophonist, woodwind artist, lecturer, author and professor of Music, as well as former head of the Music department at the University of Calgary.
