(PharosQuartet.com) As a soloist and chamber musician, previously performing with the Dusk Duo and Oracle Saxophone Quartet, Zach appeared at the Royal Albert Hall, the Pride of Britain Awards, the Cadogan Hall foyer, in a concerto appearance with the Royal College of Music wind orchestra, at several engagements in Catalonia, as well as in festivals in Denmark and Finland. He has given masterclasses with Pharos at Marshall University in West Virginia and Muhlenberg College in Pennsylvania, as well as individually at the Conservatori Liceu in Barcelona, Spain. Feeling most at home with a baritone saxophone in his hands, Zach’s debut album will feature the first-ever studio recording of Mark Watters’ Rhapsody for Baritone Saxophone (1985). Zach maintains a private saxophone studio in the Boston area, and recently joined the saxophone faculty of New England Conservatory’s School for Continuing Education. Passionate about good, pragmatic arts marketing for contemporary classical musicians, he is a member of the publicity staff of PARMA Recordings, and formerly co-headed the arts marketing agency Promote Classical. Zach’s “after-hours” passion is public health, and he is a member of the Boston HIV Research Community Advisory Board. He is keenly interested in how the arts can be used as a tool for destigmatization, activism, and keeping the personal, medical, and collective histories of the HIV/AIDS epidemic alive. He is a graduate of the Royal College of Music in London and Boston University, where he learned with Kyle Horch and Jennifer Bill, respectively. https://www.zachsax.com/psq daily 0.75 2020-06-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59ba7c99ccc5c55ee3247ac5/1548208442949-QD678HAUPJ5U5V32SLX0/20181210_203756962_iOS.jpg Pharos Photo credit: Emily Talley, 2018. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59ba7c99ccc5c55ee3247ac5/1548208442525-HLXE1HFS6WFP3047L8TC/Announcement+1.png Pharos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59ba7c99ccc5c55ee3247ac5/1548208443241-6ZWZE0CY2ZZ8QCM47EWJ/IMG_3345.JPG Pharos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59ba7c99ccc5c55ee3247ac5/1548208444955-M3WZ9W3I0J7XEZQ519AL/pharos+2.jpg Pharos https://www.zachsax.com/music daily 0.75 2019-01-23 https://www.zachsax.com/contact daily 0.75 2019-01-23 https://www.zachsax.com/new-page daily 0.75 2019-05-06
