Saxophone Revolution

The idea behind Saxophone Revolution was to show how musical traditions and artistry passing from teacher to students.

Her teacher, Tatyana Kazmiruk, is well known in Kazakhstan as a soloist, instructor and jazz festivals participant.

She is a frequent participant in saxophone competitions in Rennes (France), Houston (USA), Moscow (Russia), New York (USA), Tel Aviv (Israel), Lloret de Mar (Spain). The third member of the group, Tatyana Klushkina, is a well establish performance coach working for Kazakh National Conservatory and Republican National Music school for Gifted children.
