In Europe, in the heart of Belgium,
in the centre of the Walloon-Brussels Province, in the
region of Namur, in Dinant, the City of the Saxophone,
there is an appointment for the Mise à Sax 2002,
from Tuesday 29th October to Saturday 9th November 2002.
In 1814 Antoine Joseph, called Adolphe Sax, was born
in Dinant (Belgium). He was the ingenious inventor of
the saxophone. The 150 anniversary of the invention
of the saxophone (1990) and the centenary celebrations
of Adolphe Sax’s death (1994) gave rise, in his
home town, to plenty of projects and to the creation
of the International Adolphe Sax Association.
Since then, every year the valley of the Meuse echoes
with the sounds of the saxophone, and musicians and
spectators are invited to come and live different events
that highlight the numerous facets of this formidable
genius: the International Adolphe Sax Competition, the
Competition for Young Saxophonists, the Workshops for
Bands, the Saxophonists’ Meeting, the Sundays
of the Saxophone, Jazz concerts,...
A new Mise à Sax will take place in the fall
2002 and it promises to be such a success as in the
previous editions. Saxophone everywhere in the city
and for everyone.
With the Sponsorship of His Majesty the King Albert
II.

With the sponsorship of His Majesty the King Albert
II, the 3rd International Adolphe Sax Competition will
take place in Dinant from October 19th to November 9th
2002. This competition is for classical saxophone and
is aimed at saxophonists of high level of any nationality
under 31 years old on November 9th 2002. The Musical
organisation has been entrusted to a Committee chaired
by François Daneels, founder of the Belgian School
of Saxophone, and composed of saxophone teachers of
Real Conservatoires of Belgium. 180 candidates of 24
countries have entered this competition. The entrants
will appear before a jury made up of celebrities from
the world of music that represent the different saxophone
schools all around the world. The competition has three
phases: the preliminary round, in order to appoint 18
semi-finalists, the semi-final, which names six finalists,
and the final, which establishes the position of the
six awardwinners.
In the preliminary round and in the semi-final, the
entrants will be accompanied by a pianist, while in
the final they will perform with the Real Chamber Orchestra
of Wallonia, conducted by Patrick Baton.
The compulsory work to be performed in the final round
is a Concerto for alto saxophone and string orchestra,
harp, piano and percussion, entitled Pathetic Story.
This commission to the Belgian Composer Frederik van
Rossum is part of one of the main axes of the International
Adolphe Sax Association’s work, which consists
in promoting the composing of new saxophone works. The
final round will be the object of a recording. The CD,
collecting the highlights of the prizewinners’
performances, will be edited immediately after the Competition.
