Classical saxophonist Steven Banks comes to Home Delivery Plus in an all-new performance to be recorded in New York City. Banks awed audiences at the 2019 Young Concert Artists (YCA) international auditions, and it was no surprise that he was named one of that year’s laureates. Banks boasts an expansive talent – as a superlative performer, an evangelist for the saxophone in the world of classical concert music, a committed educator, and a compelling speaker. His performance will include the world premieres of three compositions, including a new work jointly commissioned by YCA and Washington Performing Arts.
Featuring a Headline Artist performance plus:
Linger Longer: Panel discussion among Steven Banks, composers Carlos Simon and Saad Haddad, WPA President and CEO Jenny Bilfield, and YCA President Dan Kellogg
The broadcast will take place at March 5, 2021 at 8pm Eastern / 5pm Pacific. Streaming for ticketbuyers and subscribers through March 11, 2021.
