World Saxophone Congress

The World Saxophone Congress is a festival gathering approximately 1000 saxophonists and other musicians from all over the world. Established in year 1969, the World Saxophone Congress met once every three years since the London Congress of 1976, except a few occasions at year 1992 and 1997. The Congress presents an opportunity to meet saxophonists from many countries, to attend clinics and lecturers, and to listen to various concerts and performances of saxophone soloists, chamber ensembles, big bands and symphony orchestras that run simultaneously throughout the day in different venues of the congress centre. The Congress is also convened with the purpose of presenting the advancements of music production and distribution as well as innovations in instrument-making and equipment.

The World Saxophone Congress XV will be hosted by the College of Music, Mahidol University in Bangkok. As the world’s largest gathering of professional, amateur and student saxophonists, WSCXV will feature a full schedule of concerts and presentations, and will included many displays of instruments and accessories by manufacturers and retailers from many countries.
