Rob Buckland - Saxophonist

Life since my last note has been even more hectic than usual. I spent Christmas day travelling to China (including a seven hour transfer wait at Frankfurt airport on Xmas day itself, before the 11 hour flight to Beijing! Ho ho ho!!) to play three concerts with the Chinese National Symphony Orchestra.

The exciting news, as you'll see from the link on this page, is that my NEW CD "The Time is Now" is now available! It was launched at the 6th RNCM Saxophone Day on 12th November (more below), and is now available to buy directly from this site. I'm really over the moon about this new CD. It's been a long 8 years since my last CD "Towards the Light" (now available in re-issue from quartzmusic.com), a lot has happened in my life, and the new CD really marks so many things for me.

Another hectic few months have passed since I last updated this page. June was taken up with the end of the academic year at the RNCM, and final recitals for my fourth year students.

I can't believe it's been five months since I wrote my last page! Life has been incredibly hectic!

I am writing this page in London 3 days after the fantastic events of the 5th RNCM Saxophone Day, sponsored by Henri Selmer Paris, on Sunday 6th November. What a great celebration of all things saxophonic!

Welcome to my new-look website! [Ed - referring back to the last site!] I wanted to have a page that I can regularly update with details of new Saxophonic events, and thoughts about what's been going on in my musical life, so here is the first one!
