Sax player, composer, musical director and teacher Walter Geromet, graduated cum laude in saxophone at the Conservatorio Tartini (Trieste, IT) with M. Donninelli in 2005 and subsequently studied at the Real Conservatorio Superior de Música in Madrid with Francisco Martinez. He has also attended several Masterclass throughout Europe with important classical and modern soloists. He has received awards at several national and international contests of musical execution and given more than 500 performances in Europe and the United States. Walter's teaching experience includes several international courses and conferences. In 2006 he recorded his first CD, TWO FANTASTICS, with the pianist R. Silvestre. The CD includes some of the most representative contemporary pieces for piano and sax, contaminated by popular cultures from different countries (T. Yoshimatsu, P. Iturralde, I. Gotkowsky, A. Corghi, J. Takacs) and received excellent reviews from composers and musicians around the world. In 2007 he settled in Madrid where he currently lives with his family and created the Walter Sax Big Band, a stand-out jazz band in the Spain scene, and the WS Academy of music. The school focuses on the study of the saxophone (at different levels) and the creation of instrumental combos, significant meeting points for students and professionals. The goal of the Academy is to offer not only individual lessons to their students, but an opportunity to play in bands and give concerts, an essential part of their musical enrichment and crucial to nurture their enthusiasm. Walter produced and published the CD INCOGNITO in February 2016, that contain own compositions for solo curved-soprano saxophone and new techniques of execution. His last solo CD, a tribute to composer J. S. Bach with curved-soprano sax, published in June 2017.
