World-renowned saxophonist and Auricle regular Richard Ingham celebrates 200 years since the birth of Adolphe Sax at St Bride’s in the West End of Glasgow. Richard’s popular and entertaining lecture recital takes in the history of the saxophone, right up to present day with solo and chamber repertoire performed with piano and with Auricle. Auricle are also presenting one of their critically acclaimed Discovery sessions, on Milhaud’s seminal work La création du monde for chamber orchestra. Masterclasses, Hands-on sessions and a late night ‘Jazz in the Crypt’ complete the evening’s line up.

Richard Ingham said, “This is a great opportunity to play the saxophone, hear the saxophone, and celebrate Adolphe Sax at 200.” Auricle’s Artistic Director Chris Swaffer said, “This will be a really exciting event – the saxophone’s roots in jazz, classical music and rock will make for an extraordinarily diverse evening”.
