A Message from Ray

San Jose Saxophone Christmas is a holiday tradition for saxophonists from all around the Bay Area (and beyond!) who spend a day each December playing Christmas carols at two public performances. We've been doing this since 1994 - you can read a history of the event here.

In December 2007, the 14th annual San Jose Saxophone Christmas included 193 sax players performing at Christmas in the Park, and Cupertino Square (formerly known as Vallco).

Our 2008 event is scheduled for Saturday, December 20, 2008. Save the date - registration forms will be posted about a month before the event.

Saxophone Christmas involves saxophone players of all types: sopranino, soprano, alto, tenor, baritone and bass players. We also encourage unusual instruments - any sopriillo, Saxello, C Melody, Conn-O-Sax or contrabass players should contact Ray for special treatment! And, as always, we invite any Sarusaphone players to join us.

I hope to see you next December at our 15th annual San Jose Saxophone Christmas. Spread the word!
