After several years of Corona, the Conservatorium van Amsterdam is organising another International Saxophone Week from 18 to 23 March. This time, two teachers from abroad have been recruited: Carrie Koffman (USA, Hartford University) and Simon Diricq (Belgium, Brussels Conservatory). They will give concerts, workshops and masterclasses during the week. The week will be concluded by the CvA-Sax Ensemble (with all students of the saxophone class in Amsterdam) with a lunch concert in the Grote Zaal of the Concertgebouw.
