Event Info: 

  Described as one of the finest soprano saxophone artists of the present generation, Michael Hernandez presents a solo saxophone recital that reinterprets standard repertoire to the saxophone, as well as introduces new works, written specifically for Michael, that will leave you in awe.

"Hernandez's rich and lush tone offers an unfettered palette of colors that constantly react to the emotional need of the music. His musical intelligence, his talent and his spirit of adventure make him a strong musical collaborator."
