Call for scores: saxophonist Tom Sanderman

Gaudeamus invites composers worldwide to write for soprano or tenor saxophone for Tom Sanderman.

Saxophonist Tom Sanderman works as a soloist, is the co-founder of the Dutch experimental ensemble VONK and is a member of Het Nederlands Saxofoon Octet. He also performs as a guest player with other ensembles such as Temko and Bang On A Can. A fierce advocate for contemporary music, Tom has already worked with and commissioned a number of composers, performing and recording several new works and world premieres. He studied saxophone with Ties Mellema and Niels Bijl. He took part in the Bang On A Can Summer Festival 2016 at MASS MoCA (USA) where he collaborated with composers such as Julia Wolfe and John Luther Adams. Tom released his second solo album Whoever You Are Come Forth in 2018 on the label Alaska Records.
