Air Mass, a new concert experience by award-winning saxophonist and composer Nick Russoniello redefines the boundaries of the solo saxophone recital.
Russoniello is bringing this concert to Gunnedah on Saturday March 22 at 7pm.
Touring nationally in 2025, this show combines extreme saxophone playing, audience generated sounds, live looping, body percussion and more.
Expect a seamless blend of lyricism and groove as the program moves between the elegance of Telemann and Debussy to the energy of beatbox and Daft Punk.
The concert also features the world premiere of Russoniello’s new original composition Air Mass.
Russoniello is one of Australia’s leading composer-performers.
He has performed as a soloist with many of Australia’s premier arts organisations including the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, Queensland Symphony Orchestra, Adelaide Symphony Orchestra, ABC Classic FM and Musica Viva Australia.
His music for saxophone is also played regularly by saxophonists all around the world.
“I love playing in Gunnedah, I’ve visited a few times with Musica Viva and with Music in the Regions,” Russoniello said.
“I always find the audiences so warm and there always seems to be lots of keen musicians in that area.
“This show is going to be a lot of fun, I’m hoping to show the audiences some exciting things that they haven’t seen before.”
Russoniello has been the recipient of major awards including the ABC Symphony Australian Young Performer of the Year Award, Fine Music Kruger Scholarship and a finalist for the Australian Freedman Fellowship.
