In ‘Saxomania’, saxophonist Ties Mellema plays a programme of his favourite music. In different arrangements spanning sax solo to twelve-piece sax settings, Ties and his guest musicians will play works by Marc Mellits, Ian Wilson, Eduardo Marturet and others. A highlight of the programme is a work for nine saxophones and three bass clarinets composed especially for this concert by Maarten Ornstein at Ties Mellema’s request – a genuine world premiere!
Following the concerts there will be a chance to meet the musicians and enjoy a cup of mulled wine or hot chocolate.
Tickets for the full Candlelight Concert series are available at a discount price of €68 (instead of €78) and can be ordered at www.grachtenfestival.nl/kaarslichtconcerten.
