Phoenix Saxophone Academy Chamber Saxophone Project
Founded in mid fall of 2015, the student ensemble consists of Phoenix music Academy's students who share a love and passion for making music. (Previously named Greater Vancouver Youth Saxophone Ensemble) Working together in a smaller chamber setting, the students learn how to tune, and listen more carefully to each other in comparison to when working with a piano accompanist and/or a school band.
The ensemble program consists only of Phoenix Music Academy's saxophone students.
*2018 SEASON UPDATES*
As of Fall 2018, Phoenix Saxophone Academy Chamber Ensemble project will not be running on a weekly basis. For those who are interested in joining a community saxophone ensemble, an ensemble program has been launched at the Vancouver Academy of Music.
