The Melbourne International Saxophone Festival will bring together some of the best national and international musicians for a weekend of performances and masterclasses. The festival will also feature Melbourne Saxophone’s flagship educational programs 100SAX! – a massed ensemble bringing together 100 saxophone students from across Australia and the world. They will rehearse and perform Australian and world premieres with MISF guest artists at the event. This year, saxophonists with a grade 3-4 level will also be able to perform with JuniorSAX!
