The zürich saxophone collective consists of young and highly talented saxophonists, all students in the Zurich University of the arts, in the class of Lars Mlekusch. The zsc brings together a unique mixture of musical cultures and traditions, with current and former members coming from all four corners of the world. All members of the ensemble are highly trained musicians in the fields of Classical and Contemporary Music.
As Artistic Director and Conductor of the Ensemble, Lars Mlekusch aspires to express this pluralism and diversity of cultures by creating a musical program that presents a wide spectrum of styles and aesthetics, ranging from premiering works of well-known contemporary composers, through transcriptions of symphonic masterpieces and much more. The spectacle presented to the public is fascinating and interactive. It portrays the embodiment of the Contemporary Musician of our time; a creative, knowledgeable instrumentalist who constantly seeks to experiment and correspond with different art forms; an ever-evolving, interdisciplinary artist. The musical program of the Ensemble is vast and diverse, therefore suitable for a variety of audiences. The zürich saxophone collective is happy to receive reeds support by D‘ Addario.
