_____________________

On 7 Saxophones, Carl-Emmanuel Fisbach presents a compelling exploration of contemporary saxophone repertoire through works by Arroyo, Attahir, Bonilla, Gervasoni, Hirano, Lauba, Ibarra, and Yokoi. The program highlights a wide spectrum of compositional approaches, from experiments with timbre and extended techniques to subtle investigations of breath, silence, and resonance. Moving between intimate lyricism and powerful, dissonant intensity, each work unfolds as a distinct sonic narrative. Together, the pieces form a richly varied portrait of the saxophone’s expressive potential and its capacity for poetic, emotionally charged sound worlds.

Carl-Emmanuel Fisbach is a French saxophonist renowned for his commitment to contemporary music and repertoire expansion. A graduate of the Paris Conservatoire (CNSMDP) and prizewinner in major international competitions, he performs worldwide as a soloist, chamber musician, and collaborator with leading composers and ensembles. His career includes numerous premieres, orchestral concerto performances, and appearances at prestigious venues and festivals across Europe, Asia, and the Americas.
