She has an individual and unusual tone, luscious, silky-smooth,
sultry and voluptuous by turns; her phrasing is beautifully finished,
her control of dynamic infinitely subtle. She plays very songfully,
is often gentle and restrained, at times sounding like the chalumeaux
of a clarinet. But she can rise to a passionate climax, as in
Danza de la moza donosa, or slinkily respond to
Debussy's La plus que lente. -Ivan March, Gramophone
Leading the way in her field, saxophonist Amy Dickson has gained renown in all corners of the globe and is recognized widely for her remarkable and distinctive tone and exceptional musicality.
Her unique style and impressive versatility have inspired composers throughout the world. Her passion for new music has led to the creation of a number of works and she is constantly in demand as a soloist, regularly appearing with the world’s leading orchestras.
Dickson has now released two critically acclaimed recordings for Sony Music on the RCA Red Seal label. Her first, Smile, was released in 2008 and was followed in 2010, by the enormously successful Glass, Tavener, Nyman, recorded with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra at London’s Cadogan Hall.
The stunningly beautiful and elegant artist has garnered support both in the classical world and beyond. Dickson has signed deals with fashion giants Armani and premium skin care company REN who both recognise the beauty and talents of the Australian Saxophonist. Dickson is a Selmer Paris performing artist and is honoured to be an ambassador for the Prince’s Trust and the Australian Children’s Music Foundation.
