Saxophonist Anna Marie Wytko performs along with Amanda Arrington on piano as part of the San Francisco Herbst Theatre Concert Tour. The musical journey begins with William Grant Still’s lush "Romance", the first known concert piece for saxophone by an African American composer. Next, immerse yourself in the brilliant three-movement "Concertino" by French composer Jeanine Rueff. The California premiere of Seattle-based composer Karen P. Thomas’ "When night came" reflects the horrors of the war in the former Yugoslavia and, in particular, the atrocities committed against the women of Bosnia-Herzegovina. Czech composer Jindřich Feld’s substantial "Sonate" pushes the boundaries of sonic and technical virtuosity in this highly flavorful composition. Last but certainly not least, embrace the rich melodies of "Retorno" (Return) by Costa Rican composer Federico Molina Campos in this U.S premiere.
Anna Marie Wytko, whose playing has been described by The Absolute Sound as “extraordinary” and the Uruguayan Press as “impeccable,” is University Distinguished Professor of Saxophone within the School of Music, Theatre, and Dance at Kansas State University. A Yamaha Performing Artist-Clinician and KSU International Educator of the Year Award Winner, Dr. Wytko is a globally acclaimed recording, performing, and teaching artist.
