Kenneth Tse is widely recognized as one of the leading classical saxophonists in the world. He burst on the scene in 1996 as the winner of the prestigious New York Artists International Award, which resulted in an acclaimed debut recital at Carnegie Hall. He has been a frequent soloist in five continents and a guest clinician at conferences hosted by the California Band Directors’ Association, Iowa Bandmaster’s Association, and the Midwest International Band and Orchestra Clinics. Prestigious universities and conservatories worldwide have invited him to give master classes. Tse has been an active recording artist since his first CD for Crystal Records at age 23. As an advocate for new music, Tse has had over thirty works dedicated to him by notable American composers as well as international composers. His articles have been featured in the Saxophone Journal, The Instrumentalist, Fanfare Magazine, Saxophone Symposium and others. Tse has founded the Hong Kong International Saxophone Symposium. In a desire for innovation, Thibaut Canaval founded in 2012 an ensemble of the entire family of saxophones – Saxo Voce. This passion and pioneering is a result of an observation: the Saxophone is recognized and appreciated by the general public but has not yet succeeded in imposing itself as the piano or the violin. This obstacle encourages the Ensemble Saxo Voce to tackle this challenge by working with haste and pleasure to the transcription, anxious to highlight the fantastic and diverse qualities of the Saxophone, adapting more than twenty pieces: Bach, Mozart, Debussy, Bartók, Rachmaninov, Shostakovich, Poulenc, Gershwin, Glenn Miller... In an effort to make music even more accessible, Ensemble Saxo Voce educates the youngest through a program of educational actions conducted in Ile-de-France. After remarkable passages in Asia (Japan, Taiwan) and Europe (Italy, Poland ...) Saxo Voce has the privilege of being directed by Jean-Pierre Ballon.
