Katia adds:
It is such an honour to be asked to write about my latest saxophone ensemble piece “Elise Hall – We Thank You!” for the Association Française des Saxophonistes.
To have the opportunity to share my passion in creating new saxophone music for all players… nothing beats that!
Thank you to Laurent Blanchard and Stéphane Sordet (President and Vice President of ASAX) for inviting me to be part of the wonderful saxophone community of France.
