Classical and Beyond

Quite simply, Greg Banaszak is one of the preeminent classical and jazz saxophonists of his generation. An ambassador of his craft, Banaszak was the first saxophone concerto soloist to perform with orchestras in the Middle East and Japan. A mainstay of the music world stage, we are honored that his journeys abroad have led him to our humble stage for an evening of classical saxophone (and perhaps a few surprises). Accompanying him will be Sungeun Kim, piano, first-prize winner of the Virginia Waring International Piano Competition, and Katherine DeJongh, flute, Principal Flute with the Canton Symphony and the ProMusica Chamber Orchestra of Columbus.
