The Saxophone Choir grew out from the French military wind orchestras and bands from the end of the 1800s. With many bands having a large saxophone section of eight or more players, it was quite the norm for the section to perform independently from the band.

Such saxophone ensembles blended extremely well, due to the nature of the different instruments making up the saxophone family.

In recent years, larger saxophone ensembles such as The National Saxophone Choir have once again become popular with players, composers and audiences alike. The NSC continues to introduce new audiences to the wonders of challenging and appealing saxophone choir music.

Why not listen to the sound of the choir then come and hear us live to experience the formidable resources of a choir that has eight members of the sax family at its disposal!
