The university town of St Andrews is an exceptionally attractive place to hold the World Saxophone Congress XVI. The University's beautiful main concert hall seats nearly 1000 and we have convenient rehearsal facilities, a wide variety of performance venues of all sizes, and plentiful accommodation and restaurants all within easy walking distance in this charming and ancient coastal town.
The University of St Andrews gives its full support to this event, which coincides with the University’s 600th anniversary celebrations and with the Olympic Games in London. The University Music Centre will provide its services, facilities and hospitality for the Congress. We will host an internationally renowned orchestra, symphonic wind band and jazz ensembles for gala evening performances.
Recital applications are due by December 1st 2011, and registration will be open on January 9th 2012.
