New Music for Solo Saxophone:
The Solo Sessions Project

In 2020, during the various periods of lockdown around the world, some of Amy's composer friends wrote solo pieces for her to perform online, from home. The Solo Sessions project blossomed and many new pieces were added to the solo saxophone repertoire. During the year, Amy filmed her performances of these new works, and the composers shared their thoughts about the music and how they related to the Covid crisis, in video interviews. The Solo Sessions can be found on Amy's YouTube channel:
