PhilSax comprises saxophonists from The Philharmonic Winds (Philwinds), one of Singapore’s premier wind orchestras. In line with Philwinds’ commitment to quality wind music, PhilSax is dedicated to presenting quality saxophone ensemble music to the public
PhilSax first performed in 2007 to an audience of school children and teachers at the National Arts Council’s National Arts Education Award. The engaging repertoire had the children (and teachers!) singing along, and PhilSax became hooked to bringing smiles to their audiences through their saxophones. Other public and corporate engagements followed, and PhilSax soon made its recital debut at the fully sold out Esplanade Recital Studio in 2010. Covered by TimeOut Singapore and The Flying Inkpot, this successful debut helped introduce PhilSax to an even wider variety of audiences.
Corporate and community partners who have worked with PhilSax include the Esplanade (as part of the Huayi Festival), Starbucks (as part of its Christmas festivities), Lianhe Zaobao (as part of its 90th anniversary celebrations), Goodman Arts Centre (for its Open House), and the People’s Association (as part of its PAssion Arts series of heartland arts presentations).PhilSax continues to pride itself on delivering music that is catered to a wide variety of audiences. Versatile and adventurous, their goal is to entertain and enthral audiences with its passion for quality saxophone music.
