Take a musical journey through the history of the saxophone as Shenandoah Conservatory's Professor of Saxophone Timothy Roberts and students from the conservatory's sax studio perform a repertoire that spans four centuries. The concert takes place on Sunday, April 14 as part of the At the Parish House performance series of Middleburg's Emmanuel Church.

Four musicians will showcase the exceptional range of the saxophone with a mix of music from Baroque, Broadway, and the Belle Époque. Included will be a medley of popular American folk songs, Baroque transcriptions, saxophone quartet music from France and Spain, and a rousing "barn-dance."

The Shenandoah Conservatory Saxophone Studio is one of the premier centers for saxophone study on the east coast, allowing students to choose diverse degrees including performance, education, jazz studies, music therapy, and music production technology.

A search of "Shenandoah Conservatory saxophone" on YouTube gives a sampling of the brilliant talent that's coming to this event.

The concert is Sunday, April 14 at 3 p.m. at Emmanuel Episcopal Church's Parish House, 105 East Washington St. in Middleburg. Reservations are recommended but not required (540-687-6297). A donation of $10 is suggested but not required; all are welcome.
