In a desire for innovation, Thibaut Canaval founded in 2012 an ensemble of the entire family of saxophones – Saxo Voce. This passion and pioneering will are a result of an observation: the Saxophone is recognized and appreciated by the general public but has not yet succeeded in imposing itself as the piano or the violin. This obstacle encourages the Ensemble Saxo Voce to tackle this challenge by working with haste and pleasure to the transcription, anxious to highlight the fantastic and diverse qualities of the Saxophone, adapting more than twenty pieces: Bach, Mozart, Debussy, Bartók, Rachmaninov, Shostakovich, Poulenc, Gershwin, Glenn Miller... Featuring a variable geometry ranging from soprano saxophone to bass saxophone, the Ensemble Saxo voce has been, since its beginnings, mixing different musical genres (Baroque, Classical, Romantic, Jazz and Modern). Depending on the styles, the Ensemble combines the possibilities. In an effort to make music even more accessible, Ensemble Saxo Voce educates the youngest through a program of educational actions conducted in Ile-de-France. After remarkable passages in Asia (Japan, Taiwan) and Europe (Italy, Poland ...) Saxo Voce has the privilege of being directed by Jean-Pierre Ballon.
