Philippe Geiss<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Philippe Geiss is a saxophonist, composer and pedagogue. A tireless advocate of reconciliation between different musical spheres, he has always favoured the creation of bridges between music. Partnering both classical and improvised performances together with Jean-Francois Zygel and Jerry Bergonzi, he developed a language based on his many artistic experiences. A specialist in “crossover”, he speaks with the same passion in classical, jazz or multi-cultural music of today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Philippe Geiss is a Professor at the Strasbourg Conservatory and the Academy of Music in Strasbourg \u2013 High School of Arts of the Rhine, as well as a Guest Professor at the Senzoku Gakuen College of Tokyo and a member of the scientific committee of Labex-GREAM at Strasbourg University. He gives concerts and master classes around the world, from the \u201cBlue Note\u201d of New York to Shanghai, Madrid, Boston, Montreal, Tokyo, Bangkok, Miami, Montevideo and Sydney.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with Emmanuel S\u00e9journ\u00e9, he has been awarded prizes for Best Incidental Music at at the Festival d’ Avignon and the Academy of the French Record, as well as the Music Prize of the Acad\u00e9mie Rh\u00e9nane (Education Authority of the Rhine Region) for his arrangements of Debussy, Ibert and Milhaud, and for \u201cThe Legend of the Centuries\u201d by Victor Hugo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Much in demand as a composer, his works have been performed by prestigious performers and performing groups such as the U.S. Navy Band, Branford Marsalis, Nederland Wind Ensemble, Slovenian Police Orchestra, Trombonissimo, as well as the Habanera, Alloy Diastema and Ellipsos Quartets, among others. His works are published by Robert Martin, Billaudot, Leduc and Alphonce. His curiosity for research in the field of new instruments has led him to focus on the \u201cKarlax\u201d new multimedia tool designed for the performing arts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
