Erin Royer is the Head of Saxophone at the University of Western Australia and tutors at The Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts. She is a classically trained saxophonist, but prefers the term cross-genre saxophonist as she performs in all genres. She is a highly respected international saxophonist and regularly performs with the Malaysian Philharmonic and Western Australian Symphony Orchestras. Around Perth Erin performs solo recitals and with local ensembles such as The Oz Big Band, the award winning Perth Cabaret Collective and the Just Sax quartet. Jenni Watson is a freelance saxophonist, composer and multi-instrumentalist. She balances composition commissions in the contemporary classical genre with her own instrumental/electronica recording projects. Studying BMus and MMus with Rob Buckland and Andy Scott at the RNCM (UK), she achieved the highest recital mark in the Woodwind department’s history. Her final Masters recital was entirely self-composed – a first for the RNCM. She has recorded several CDs of original music, breaking genre conventions to create a unique and engaging soundworld. She performs with varied groups including Kaleidoscope Quartet, BBC Philharmonic Orchestra, Tenor Saxophone Collective, and Lucan Mills (rap artist). Her compositions receive international performances and she also founded BASS (the British Annual Saxophone Symposium).
