Nuclear Whales Saxophone Orchestra

The entire ?Family of Saxophones? is featured ? the tiny sopranino, the soprano, alto, tenor, baritone, bass and the rare and monstrous 6?8? contra-bass (described by The LA Times as ??an instrument with the stature of a power forward in the NBA and a pitch that makes a foghorn sound effeminate?.) Together they create incredibly innovative music with a rich ensemble sound covering an amazing range of over six octaves.

The Nuclear Whales Saxophone Orchestra repertoire includes classical, jazz, swing and a plethora of original works as well as a tribute to the ocean?s whales that inspired the Orchestra?s name. From Bach, Mozart, and Strauss to Ellington, Gershwin and Sousa, the Whales leave no musical genre unexplored.
