About us

Belgrade SAXperience is a unique international saxophone festival, featuring some of the most distinguished international and Serbian performers. What sets it apart is that it follows contemporary trends and strives to reach the widest audience possible. Thus, the festivalgoers are able to enjoy the sounds of the saxophone not only in Belgrade’s most prominent classical and jazz concert halls, but at outdoor matinee events and evening club performances. An integral part of this musical event is the educational program for the youth – master classes where the students can perfect their playing. Given that the main focus is on the promotion of new compositions, we have commissioned several composers to write news pieces to be performed for the first time on stage this autumn. Belgrade SAXperience is a recipient of the Belgrade Stars prize, awarded by the Youth Office of the City of Belgrade.

As one of our main missions is the decentralization of culture in Serbia, we have also organized SAXperience on Tour to enable the music lovers across the country to hear the world’s best saxophonists perform near or in their towns. Let us not forget to also mention the international festival and summer school, Summer SAXperience, held in Herceg Novi, Montenegro, and the winter school, Ski SAXperience. Both provide the students with the opportunity to learn from the world-renowned saxophonists while enjoying the beautiful summer and winter settings and forming friendships that could, we can only hope, result in future professional collaboration. There is also an educational program for the youngest audience, called Mini SAXperience, which offers the youngsters a chance to interactively learn all about this wonderful instrument from our youngest performers.
