Phoenix Sax Members Go Live From Their Own Homes

Members of Market Harborough’s Phoenix Saxophone Orchestra aren’t letting the pandemic stop them doing what they enjoy most.

Eight members have got together to record an arrangement of Haydn’s 39^th Symphony from their own homes, through the power of technology.

The Orchestra only formed in January and despite not being able to rehearse together, they are connecting with each other on-line and were also filmed performing the special piece.

All seven of the different types of sax played by the orchestra features in the piece, from the tiny sopranino through the more commonly seen soprano, alto, tenor and baritone saxophones to the huge bass sax and truly enormous contrabass.
