Welcome to the WTSC web page! Below is some information about WTSC followed by short biographies and photos of members of the 'World Tenor Saxophone Consortium'.
In 2005 we commissioned a new work for Tenor Saxophone and CD from British composer Graham Fitkin.
On Tuesday April 26th 2005 this new work was premiered around the world by WTSC members! It's an incredible project, organised by Russell Gillespie and myself and we would like to thank all WTSC members and Graham Fitkin for their fantastic support.

It’s a great idea to have twelve worldwide premieres of the new piece on one day. It’s so simple and sensible. I’m looking forward to the whole thing. Although I’m thinking about it now, I’ll begin the piece properly in the autumn and complete in early 2005. more
