Robin Lacey, Classical Saxophone, Announced At Bridge Street Theatre
Catskill's adventurous Bridge Street Theatre opened its 2019 Season on January 6 with a take-no-prisoners performance by the Zelos Saxophone Quartet. Winner of the 2018 Frances Walton Competition, this vibrant and youthful ensemble, based in San Jose, CA, presented a jaw-dropping array of classic and contemporary works. Now, the theatre bookends its season with a performance by the ensemble's only female member, the astonishing Robin Lacey (accompanied at the piano by Dan Chien) on Saturday November 30, 2019, at 7:30pm.
Robin Lacey's "beautiful and warm sound on the tenor saxophone" has been heard in venues across the U.S as a soloist and in chamber music, (National Music Festival, MD, Festival South, MS, Beethoven Center Concert Series, CA, 41st International Navy Band Saxophone Symposium, VA, Herbst Theater, SF, North American Saxophone Alliance, OR). While finishing up her Master's degree in music performance at San Jose State University, under the direction of Dr. Michael Hernandez, Robin has performed concertos (Villa-Lobos' "Fantasia on tenor saxophone" and von Koch's "Concerto for Alto Saxophone") with several orchestras, such as the Master Sinfonia Chamber Orchestra (Palo Alto, CA), the SJSU Orchestra (San Jose, CA) and the Roberts Wesleyan College Orchestra (Rochester, NY).
Works to be performed by Ms. Lacey and Mr. Chien include "Aria" by Eugene Bozza, J.S. Bach's "Sonata No. 6 in E Major", "Sonata for alto saxophone and piano" by Ernst-Lothar von Knorr, Robert Schumann's "Three Romances, Op. 94", and Erwin Schulhoff's "Hot-Sonate".
