Innovative Tradition: The “Rascherian” Approach: Lecture-Recital

Soaring high notes, pizzicato articulation, and a body of repertoire that spans over 80 years. Saxophonist Sigurd M. Rascher (1907-2001) left behind a legacy and style of playing that continues to thrive to this day. While each generation that studied with Mr. Rascher developed their own general approach, a stylistic thread ties together these musicians and their repertoire. Featuring Andrew R. Steinberg (saxophone) and Ashley Zhang (piano), this lecture-recital highlights the “Rascherian” approach in works by Hans Kox, Eric Moe, Steven Stucky, and more.
