The SaxOrchestra of the P.I. Tchaikovsky Conservatory of Nocera-Catanzaro is a saxophone orchestra formed by the excellence of the saxophone classes of the Calabrian Conservatory. The students will perform as orchestra members and soloists, interpreting a transversal programme that, thanks to the versatility of the saxophone, will range from classical to popular music, from soundtracks to Latin music.

In the desire to enhance the principles of unity and sharing between the Italian and Slovenian cultures, in cooperation with the composition class of the P.I. Tchaikovsky Conservatory, a piece was commissioned to be premiered inspired by the theme: Borderless.

‘Kunfandoj’ is the piece written by Calabrian composer Marco De Gori ‘From Pontebba, we set off on a musical journey eastwards. In the majestic fog of the Alps, we leave behind us the echoes of Carnic songs; in the distance, Carinthian choruses resound from Austria. Ahead of us, surprising, is Slovenia, colourful and rhythmic by day, intimate and soft at night. It is a journey of musical encounters, of Contaminations (in Esperanto, in our ideal common language, Kunfandoj)’.
