Für das Saxophon wurden in den letzten 100 Jahren viele wundervolle Solokompositionen mit Orchester bzw. Chor geschrieben – von Claude Debussy, Florent Schmitt, Alexander Glasunow, Heitor Villa-Lobos bis hin zu Giya Kancheli und John Adams.
Es sind sehr besondere Momente, diese Werke aufführen zu dürfen, und ich bin sehr dankbar, in den vergangenen Jahren immer wieder mit fantastischen Orchestern und Chören die Gelegenheit dazu gehabt zu haben. Darunter waren das St. Christopher Chamber Orchestra/Vilnius, die Kammerphilharmonie Frankfurt, das Orchestre de Chambre Nouvelle Europe/Paris, das Orchestre symphonique de Mulhouse und die Sinfonia Concertante Bremen. 2012 führte ich in mein Saxophonkonzert „WAVES“ erstmals auf, 2015 erlebte es seine französische Erstaufführung im Rahmen des Weltsaxophonkongresses in Strasbourg.
