Looping Workshop with Nick Russoniello

Monday 15 September

Year 11 Music students will be attending a loop pedal workshop with Australian saxophonist and composer, Nick Russoniello. Nick has worked with many of Australia’s premier orchestras and is a member of the award-winning Nexas Saxophone Quartet. 

Nick is currently undertaking an Australian tour, presenting his 'Air Mass' show at Orange Regional Gallery at 3pm on Sunday 14 September.  'Air Mass' redefines the boundaries of the solo saxophone recital and combines extreme saxophone playing, audience generated sounds, live looping, body percussion and more. We’d strongly recommend our students attend Nick’s performance, tickets for which can be purchased here.
